    Viana do Costelo or Caminha for a rest day?

    I am torn. VdC seems to have lots of history, but Caminha seems charming. Your shared experiences would be appreciated.

    Portuguese Costal: Transport on route between Viana do Costello and Caminha?

    Thanks. I’ll be there mid May. Hoping the strike is over by then, but Uber is a fine alternative.

    Portuguese Costal: Transport on route between Viana do Costello and Caminha?

    Are ubers, taxis, or busses available between these two? For several reasons I may need to catch a ride for part of this segment.

    Thank you.

    A bit of bus and public travel confusion

    I’m unclear on suggested busses. Are bus lines in Portugal and Spain private and/or government operated? And are the suggested services I see ticket agents or the bus lines themselves. Is there a single place to find schedules for, and book, buses and trains? Finally, are BlaBla car drivers...

    Back injury 4 weeks out

    Advice please. I was in a car wreck 2 months before my Portuguese Camino. Back pain stoped my training. I went into physical therapy. Now, at 3 weeks before I leave, I’m trying to decide whether to postpone. I walked 1.5 miles with 4.5 kg of total pack weight today with some pain. I’m planning...

    Packing VOLUME

    I’m using a 30L for my first Camino. It’s a bit tight, but it forces me to take only what I need.

    Women out there - Deuter backpack

    Deuter Trail 30. It’s heavier, but a better fit for my long torso. I’ve been very comfortable on training hikes with 8 pounds TPW. I will, however, be packing very light for my Camino. I’m hoping for 10-12 pound TPW.

    Patches on my backpack?

    Both. Use one of the previously mentioned adhesives and then stitch (preferably with blanket stitch, which is easy to learn). I have 2 sons who were patch crazy Boy Scouts, and this was the only foolproof method.

    I sing “That’s All Right, Mama” (Elvis) when I’m struggling mentally. 🙃

    The problem with good ideas

    I humbly offer: Before speaking, THINK. Is it True? Is it Helpful? Is it Inspiring? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind?

    Is pre-booking accommodation the new normal?

    Newbie question. Are you all saying there are no beds at all to be had, or that there are no beds in albergues and hostels?

    How much do You stretch each day?

    I lift legs a bit off the bed and “write” the alphabet with my toes (to help with plantar fasciitis). Then a bit of yoga Happy Baby to open up the ol‘ hips. And a couple of yoga Sun Salutations when I crawl out of bed. Then I stretch as I’m going about my morning - no counting. I just try to...
