    Thoughts on “Santiago - the Camino within”

    I agree with a lot of what has been shared. I wanted to love it but did not. There is an extreme Catholic religious plot in the movie which I did not expect. The movie has a heavy focus on St. James as an Apostle and his role in the history of the camino. There were beautiful insights in the...

    Blankets

    I haven't used it yet but I bought this iClimb blanket from amazon (less expensive version of the montbell). I compared the two and the iClimb is quite a bit cheaper and only slightly more weight (about 2 ounces) and has strong reviews. I bought a separate xxs sea to summit compression bag to...

    Rain shell in June & July for Camino Frances

    I walked June / July last year and was very thankful to have rain gear and used it multiple times. I carried this FroggToggs xtreme light jacket, this wrap skirt that doubled as a poncho and kept my entire bottom half completely dry, a backpack cover, and this six moons design ultralight...

    Umbrella for sun and rain - buy good quality (expensive) or just use a cheap one?

    I second the Six Moons Design umbrella - I bought as I was looking for ultra light and it made the cut. It is $40 USD. I had so many people comment along the camino (in rain and sun) that they wished they had my umbrella. Buen Camino! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NP7Z4Y8/?tag=casaivar02-20

    People with Altra Lone Peak shoes

    I hiked camino frances this June from SJPP to Santiago. I started with the Altra Lone Peak and here's my summary: only trained in them for a month (up to ten miles) loved them while training - they were so comfortable got terrible foot pain within a couple of days after starting the camino it...

    Headlamp question

    HI. I have just returned from the camino and took this lightweight Petzl rechargeable headlamp with me. Several mornings in the heat I left very early before the sun was up and it was great to have this headlamp to ensure I didn't stumble down any rocky paths. It is really lightweight and the...

    Ideas for refrigerated migraine medicine

    Thanks again for all the help. My Neurologist solved the problem - they offer the shot quarterly so I can take a triple dose before I go. Nice to have so many great back up options. Muchas gracias!

    Ideas for refrigerated migraine medicine

    After the great insight and finding out the shot is available in Spain, I have figured out roughly where I need to pick it up along my walk and reached out to a couple pharmacies to see if they carry it. I understand some pharmacies won't prescribe to foreigners. And also found this site who...

    Ideas for refrigerated migraine medicine

    I looked at that model as well. Think it's a good option if I have to carry an extra one with me. Fingers crossed I can find a way to get one locally. Thank you!

    Ideas for refrigerated migraine medicine

    Thank you all for this great insight - I really appreciate it. I saw online that Ajovy was approved in Spain but great to know it's actually available. I'll work on how to get one dose while I'm in Spain from a pharmacy/doctor. FYI that I am in Spain for 8 weeks total so don't have the option...

    Ideas for refrigerated migraine medicine

    Buenas dias fellow pilgrims. I will be walking my first Camino starting May 31st on the Frances and I'm super excited. I am looking for ideas and options as I have chronic migraines and take a once-a-month shot that has to be refrigerated (Ajovy). It needs to stay between 2-8 degrees C and...

    Fisterra Certificate

    I'm following this as well as I will be walking to Finisterre and Muxia this summer. I've sent an email to the Albergue Bela Muxia to see if they have set times for delivering the certificate. I'll share here what I hear back from them. Buen Camino! Edit: here's the message I got back from Bela...
