    Want to travel from Villaviciosa to Oviedo but then get back on Camino Nord at Gijon - thoughts / possibilities?

    Thanks for all the pics and information - looking like a side day trip (kinda a rest day) via bus or train into Oveido and back later in day to Gijon is the most plausible ! Totally want to see the monastery and museums there!

    Which clothes/garments to wear during /buy for the Camino?

    Insoles for boots

    LOVE the birkenstock half insert! Cost $50 Canadian and turn any shoe into a birkenstock shoe - only thing that feels good when I have planter fascitis
