  KGBurk replied to the thread Favorite end of day shoes.
  
  I wasn't even using them for long distance, just walking around cities. You sacrifice durability for comfort. I had the Allbirds that weren't water-resistant so there's no way i could wash them. I don't know Felix shoes. Could you send a link or...

  I walked it in 2022, does that help? Here is some content I produced: Live thread: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/caminho-portugues-interior-may-2022.74925/ Highlights...

  KGBurk replied to the thread Next Camino, which one?.
  
  I think you have to prioritize the key factors in choosing a Camino and then work down the decision making tree. If bag shuttling is crucial then that narrows it down. If you don’t want to stay in Albergues, that narrows it down even more. Don’t...

  Last year I took Allbirds but I didn’t like how quickly the tread wore out. I’m now using Geox shoes that are lightweight and double as a great urban walking shoe that looks good with pants and shorts

  I would say language for sure. Some online resources are: Practice Portuguese, Portuguese with Leo, Portuguese with Carla, Mia Esmeriz Academy. Maybe look these up and see if they appeal to you. These are all European Portuguese resources; be...

  KGBurk replied to the thread Drinking water from taps at cemeteries.
  
  Thanks for all the input. Drinking water from a cemetery tap in Spain or Portugal is now off my plans.

  KGBurk reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread Drinking water from taps at cemeteries with Like.
  
  So I’ve been given this advice when walking less frequented routes and I can tell you that it may be the worst advice I’ve received. First, many cemeteries have been paved over for ease of maintenance and no longer have water taps. Second, those...

  KGBurk replied to the thread 28 walking days in March / April '24 - which Camino routes would be possible?.
  
  We’re walking the CPI in March 2025 so I’m deep into planning routes and accommodation now. We’re not going to stay on the trail the whole way for three reasons: we don’t want to walk more than 24km per day, we want to stay in private rooms, and...

  KGBurk posted the thread Drinking water from taps at cemeteries in 🩺 Health & Medical Topics.
  
  I’ve heard that if you’re in need of drinking water on a Camino, you can always find a water tap at a cemetary. Is this true and do you think the water is usually potable from cemetery taps?
