    Pensions, Hostels, Hotel & Posada list of private accommodation

    There are many 'cashed up' baby boomers that would like to do the Camino in a little bit of comfort or style. Especially Australians. Better to do it this way than not at all. Our dollar is also shrinking, glad we did it last year.

    Private Accommodation Spreadsheet 2016-01-20

    We walked the Camino from St Jean to Santiago in 2015 (May to July). We stayed in private accommodation the whole way, booking ahead by 2-3 days and getting our luggage forwarded by Jacotrans. We had a ball and everything exceeded our expectations. We miss the Camino & if we were 20 years...

    Thanks Peregrina 2000. Unfortunately we have plans to do many other things - walking Hadrians Wall, Iceland, riding bikes down the Danube Path from Germany to Hungry amoungst many other items on the bucket list. Our time will run out before we finish our bucket list :(

    2 dogs in need of immediate medical assistance. Can anyone help please?

    Thank you so much for your response. I have been constantly worrying about these two dogs & am saddened that I could not do anything to help them. Thank you for giving me the information about Progape Oursense. I have found a Facebook page for progape Oursense & have pleaded the dogs case on...

    2 dogs in need of immediate medical assistance. Can anyone help please?

    On Saturday, we walked from Samos to Sarria through a little village called Perros. There were two dogs that badly need medical assistance & since I can only speak English, I don't know how to help them. They were within a kilometre of each other. The first dog was sitting in a field on a corner...

    Dealingwith the heat

    We always find an ice block, not ice cream or a very cold bottle of water mid afternoon brings down our core temperature.

    Comment by 'yellowshoes55' in media 'Descent to Hornillos del Camino'

    Loved this descent. The view was glorious. We stayed in a fabulous Casa Sol de Sol. Unfortunately I have not been able to add to trip advisor. I have tried twice.

    Sore heels. Any advice.

    Thanks kanga. Always wanted to ask you - you must be Aussie judging by your name. I have a pair of Keens which I may be walking in tomorrow.

    Sore heels. Any advice.

    I have been looking at the different lacing techniques as suggested, & will try replacing my boots. I will give my boots some time out for a couple of days & retry them. I also wonder if I should perhaps drop to one pair of socks to allow more room in my boot, as with two pair, it is a snug...

    Sore heels. Any advice.

    Thanks heaps for your advice. Sounds like it is definitely time for a change of foot ware. I have both new balance joggers with me & hiking sandals. I will swap to one of them for our walk tomorrow to Carrion de Los Condes

    Sore heels. Any advice.

    Thanks for your reply. It is not under my heel. I have had plantar fasciitis & therefore know that pain. It is just on the surface of the skin, & seems to be similar to a callous. I have been doing both calf & archilies stretches as shown by my Physio.

    Sore heels. Any advice.

    We are into day 20 of our Camino & currently in Fromista. I have very sore heels. It is not from plantar fasciitis & I don't think it is tendinitis. I have been wearing two pair of woollen socks since the start, but started to develop sores fromSan Juan onwards. My boots are well worn & are...
