My brother and I walked the Camino from Tui to Santiago in Sept 2019. It had a few steep spots, but overall, not too difficult. There are also lots of services along the way. Towns are not very far apart. We passed, and were passed by, lots of folks of all ages and fitness levels. The...

I used a neck wallet which I wore under my shirt and against my skin. Was comfortable, and It worked well, but a bit of sweat did manage to get in to the wallet. I would use it again but put my passport/pilgrim passport in a plastic sandwich bag in the wallet. Tried on some money belts, but...
