Can I use a liner only?
I did this before. And I’m doing it again. If it’s cold you can try to find albergues with blankets. Or you can do like me and just sleep in your clothes. The liner I have packs away into a very small bag. It weighs only 300 grams. This is helpful if you’re trying to minimize both the weight and...- Maxwell4334

Why the Camino is not for us? Is Camino de Santiago worth it? | Our final thoughts, tips and advice
I couldn’t agree more, Fleur. I am an optimistic person. But I’m also practical. And I don’t like to look at things with rose-colored glasses to the point that I’m hiding real truths from myself and others. This is my first Camino and there were days I wanted to quit because my feet hurt so...- Maxwell4334

Injured my back and need to shorten my walk - which parts can be shortened (by bus...)?
Don’t worry about the credential in Santiago. I’ve been told that the line is sometimes hours long and it’s only a piece of paper. It’s overrated like so many other things on the Camino. Try BlaBla Car. It’s a kind of carpooling and it’s cheaper than buses and taxis and it’s available in...- Maxwell4334

Why the Camino is not for us? Is Camino de Santiago worth it? | Our final thoughts, tips and advice
I am currently on the Camino Frances. I feel that the experience is good overall but there have been a few bad things that have happened along the way. I have run into many people with personal issues and at first I tried to be social with these kinds of people. But I learned after a few days...- Maxwell4334
