    Nutrition

    I am really eager to try out Spanish fruit, bakeries, wine and will taste local cooked food as much as possible. I don't like coffe, but I think I have not come across a thread in this forum without reading Cafe Con Leche, so I will definetly take a sip into my girlfriend's to see what the hype...

    Nutrition

    I wanted to test how I would do in a long walk both physically, mentally and nutritionally, so just did a 50km trail hike with 1500m elevation gain in 8.5 hours. I stopped 2 times for around 6-7 minutes to eat a sandwich and 1 time to switch socks before trail running. I had a Vegetable+cheese...

    This one is for gentlemen only.

    +1 for don't shave. Make daily pictures of your face and later on a .gif version of them. Look how your clean cut pretty face becomes a tired and happy bearded dude. Thats what I did for long hitchhikes and was always fun. If you don't like the beard when you go home you can always shave it =)

    Sounds of the Camino

    Don't just think in music, you could listen to audiobooks too! Im planning to read the Bible at night (If you walk for 30 days you can finish it reading only 1.5 hours a day), and listen to the Quran on the walk. Any other audiobook of your taste would be great, just look around at Audible!

    Prices in mercados and shops

    Thanks for all the answers! Me and my girlfriend are aiming around 20 Euros a day too (harder to come up with money from eastern european countries;)). Fast is not unfamiliar for me, but when I started running the 46 day fast was really demanding, as I was hungry ALL the time, and I thought...

    Hello Pilgrims! Anyone have a pricelist of items in shops/mercados? Things like: bread, chees, eggs, bottle of milk and wine, box of fruit juice, veggies and fruits, etc? Or maybe someone able to list sime prices off the top of one's head?

    Buying equipment at SJPP

    Thank You! I wrote them and they indeed sell VICTORINOX knives, 3 models from 16-32EUR. Rick: Thank you for the reply! I think me and my girlfriend will buy one swiss army knife and a cheaper Opinel knife. Maybe we will leave them at Finisterre for someone, or if we get too attached to them...

    Buying equipment at SJPP

    As I can't bring a swiss army knife or scissors in my Hand Luggage on the flight, can I buy said equipments at SJPP? I got my army knife from my father, so I am not an expert in selecting original swiss army knives and not copies. Any recommendation on this topic?
