I'm at the tail end of my Camino Portuguese and I had my backpack transported from Villanova de Arousa to a Pension in O Areal this morning. On arriving at the accommodation I discovered 3 items missing from the bottom compartment of my bag - the zip was undone and nothing in there. The company...
I used these Flare ear plugs when I did my Camino in 2019. They broke within the first few days. The company were good enough to refund the cost to me, once I sent photographs. For my next Camino in May this year I will use the wax earplugs.

Thank you! It's good to hear directly from a person who has experienced walking directly out of Porto, on the central route, finding it agreeable. More to think about..... 🙏🏼
