    Gore-tex

    I just completed the San Salvador and Primitivo. I had a poncho, but also packed my goretex pants and jacket, which I thought was overpacking at the time.

    Safety on the Salvador

    I worry about the dogs as well. I had one chase me around town a few years ago while walking el dragonte. Good news is it never bit me and helped me get off track and add 10 more km to my day!!

    Safety on the Salvador

    Ideas for a camino in December

    Just finished Porto-Santiago. With a bit of searching, albergues aren't a problem. You could easily start in Spain and have a great 7 days.

    LIVE from the Camino Just cleared customs in Paris from the US

    I have the health pass (email address available through googling but the French embassy tweeted a link) but no one has asked for it yet. Flew into Orly today and staying in Paris. Wondering if it will be required for the train tomorrow?
