    Salvador + Primitivo or Frances

    So right my friend. My Keen hiking boots were great and lasted 3 full Caminos or about 3000km. Bought the same ones for my 2020. Have walked only in May previously and intend to do the same this time around so can’t get rid of poncho, rain pants and gatters this time either.

    4 month Training Program

    Hello Kricket I will be on my third consecutive Camino this May 4th. I never trained save for last few weeks. Same age. Each Camino has taught me to still lighten my pack. Have you filled your water bottles and weighed your pack. Water is essential and is heavy. Lighten your pack below your 10%.

    Only 3 days ... but hey it's a start !

    I walked the Frances in May 2016, 5 months after breaking my left shoulder. First day was tough on one pole especially the long descent so I concur with Tom in that two poles will help and the booking of the Albergue on stage 1 so take your time and do the long downhill slowly.

    Apple Watch on the Camino

    My husband brought his Apple Watch last year, dropped it many times as it kept falling off his wrist, lost it in a eucalyptic, fern thick forest in the Portuguese camino and didn’t realize until the end of that stage. His watch is black and green. Guess what, another Pilgrim found it amongst the...

    Ideas Peregrinas, a new hostel in Tui

    Hello Sisters I stayed at Ideas Peregrinas last year in June with my husband. You have a super clean and lovely Albergue with a fantastic location, kitchen and lounge areas. I loved it, one of the best on the Camino Portugues. Hope you have a fabulous season. Good Luck and God Bless.
