    Last minute footwear dilemma!

    I posted this several years ago, but think it still applies here. "The right shoe choice can make or break your camino experience but I think it's not just one shoe choice that we need to consider. I have walked with both boots and hiking shoes and prefer the latter, but it was my choice of...

    Hiking Shoes, or Hiking Boots?

    The right shoe choice can make or break your camino experience but I think it's not just one shoe choice that we need to consider. I have walked with both boots and hiking shoes and prefer the latter, but it was my choice of alternate shoes that made all the difference. My 'sandals' were...

    Typical day - albergues - advice for first timer :)

    I will start my camino in June in SJPP and have found the advice on the forum wonderful. As a non-hiker or experienced trekker I find myself becoming nervous about staying in albergues, finding a bed and best using my time. I would love to hear some experienced pilgrims' advice on how they plan...
