    Combining multiple caminos

    I recently walked the Portugese route from Porto to SdC. For almost every yellow arrow I passed (in Portugal) there was a blue arrow pointing in the opposite direction. The blue arrows are waymarkers to Fatima. I walked in September and crossed paths with several people following the blue arrows.

    Hiking sandals or lighter flip flops?

    Thank you all for your advice! I plan on wearing my boots to hike/walk and using my sandals at the albergues or to run errands only. It sounds like I should stick to the original plan and bring the Tevas. Buen Camino!

    Hiking sandals or lighter flip flops?

    Hi all, I'm walking in mid September from Roncevalles to Burgos. I was planning on bringing Teva hiking sandals as my pair of 'relief shoes'. I'm wondering if I should switch them out for a lighter pair of flip flops to save weight. Any thoughts? Thanks and Buen Camino, Carolann

    Cell phone - I'm sure it's been asked a million times before

    Walking in mid September. My apologies but I have a few questions about cell phones that I'm sure are very repetetive but I cant seem to find all of the information. I would like to bring my phone to use mainly as a camera, an MP3 player. I may(possibly) also use it to send short facebook or...

    Bedbug Update

    Hi all Just wanted to jump in on this topic. Although I am no longer in it, Ive spent most of my career in the hotel industry. As you can imagine bedbugs are my least favorite topic. So here is what I can offer: Check your mattresses thoroughly. They usually hide in the creases and seams. Also...

    Hi, I've never done it but I've been told that you can get inexpensive flights from Santiago to Madrid to you may want to compare the train cost to the flight. I think RyanAir has flights for under $70. Buen Camino, Carolann

    The good news is that I'm not a vegetarian. I think the buzz word for people like me is pescatarian as I don't eat meat but I do eat some fish (also eggs and dairy). If necessary I will eat things that are cooked in a stock. I haven't eaten meat in over 15 years and I've been gluten free for...
