Much of the above is beyond me. I am clearly fortunate as, within reason, a Camino costs me less per day than if I chose to walk, eat and sleep where I live. With respect to carrying cash and valuables: I daily go about with £3-400 cash and a... -

Aiyiyi! Catch up on my sleep, and see what I get: you guys are already in O Barco!:eek:🤣 Have no fear, @Marbe2. As others have said, the waymarking is excellent. The only two places I ran into trouble were where the marker was overgrown by... -

Saw a woman going too fast on the trail down to Acebo. Lost her footing and used her face as her brake. I moved on as there were enough people arond her helping her. Met her that night in the albergue. She was laughing at herself and telling...
