    LIVE from the Camino A new threat to my pilgrim tolerance and zen-like state of relaxation

    Maybe its just my opinion, but I also had some people quite loud in the dorms on my Camino, however, I think since common sense is not so common if people are a problem, you should get a separate hotel room or smth and dont put expectations high that all the people in the dorm will behave the...

    Carry On Question?

    Not sure how many litres, but I just borrowed my boyfriends hunting bag. It fitted the basic hand luggage standart 55*40*20, some airlines had 55*40*23 it was more than enough. I had an extra small around waist wallet for my passport, kindle, mobile and money. :)

    Running in Santiago - a question

    In Caldas de Reis I stayed in Albergue Agarimo (could recommend this one for staying as well) and went to Balneario Acuna just for this swimming pool, they offer some other spa stuff but I was a budget piligrimo. This Balneario Acuna also has a hotel as far as I know but it seemed a bit too...

    Running in Santiago - a question

    Not a runner, but I would suggest to run to Caldas de Reis and take the inside mineral swiming pool in Balneario Acuna with massage streams in the water. It costs around 17 euros and it was one of the biggest highlights of my trip releasing the tension from hurting shoulders, legs and tense...

    Thank you so so much for your answers! I did my ´few days of Camino´ and it was amazing! :) Without the encouragement and tips from this forum I maybe wouldn´t have managed. Now just planning to maybe do another Camino in a few years :)

    Sweet Treats

    There were plenty of unhealthy white flour baked stuff but as a healthier options loving pelegrinos we loved to have some dates on the way or buy some local fruits as sweet treats in local fruterias. My favourites include figues, mango, cactus fruit. And however weirdly it sounds we also loved...

    First time Camino

    Your answer is just amazing! Thank you so much for taking time and reply to my post, about the shoes: I´ll try to see what can I do about it, probably buying new ones just before the road is also not such a great idea...

    First time Camino

    Hello everyone, First, I would like to thank you for encouragement and valuable tips I read on this Forum. I´m a 26 years old woman trying to answer some questions about sprituality and purpose in my life. It was a huge dream of mine for many years to join Camino. I will be walking the last...

    What to wear in bed?

    I´m planning to take some cotton leggings and a wide t-shirt, both of them which could be used as an outfit for dinner or walking next day :)

    Bookings? Or just go with the flow?

    I will be walking in August. At least I didn´t really want to risk and booked everything in advance (now). Probably not as cheap, and would have worked out any other way, but knowing myself it was just one thing I didn´t want to stress about in the way.
