    Crazy things people do in the last 100 km

    I wish I'd taken a photo but I met a fellow pilgrim in the final 100 km in 2022. He and his dog had walked all the way from his home in Ukraine. The two of them left the day that the Russians invaded their town. When he heard the explosions he realized that he would now be creating a new life...

    Women's sandals for plantar fascitis

    Possibly another way to approach it is to find the most comfortable hiking sandals and each morning tape your feet in the plantar fasciitis wrap Podiatrists and PT’s use both as treatment and prevention with athletes. You can learn this wrap to do yourself but it’s even more effective if a...

    Boxer shorts - any recommendations

    For my 3 Caminos I wore Adidas Men’s Performance Boxer Briefs. Comfortable, easy to hand wash each day, and they are line dry with an hour of sunshine or by morning at your bunk.

    Accommodation?

    I’ve done exactly what you describe here in May-June without issues or problems. My goal each day was to arrive no later than 2:00 and I usually was able to get into my first or second choice. Sometimes third. Many towns have that one large municipal or church albergue that has many beds and...

    Just wondering, did anyone ever walk for a deceased pet/animal?

    It is entirely your Camino and you can with pride and confidence share ( or not share) that info with anyone along the way. Buen Camino

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    I agree with all the advice here to bring a light bag. I’ve walked my 3 Caminos in May. The first one I brought just a liner and experienced very cold, sleepless nights until I purchased an ultralight bag in Burgos and have used it ever since. There are so many variables such as some church...

    Back injury 4 weeks out

    My suggestion to you Tammom is to intentionally reframe your thinking about this Camino. Put these thoughts into your decision making: I will be walking the Camino. I will do it when I and my doctor are both reasonably certain that I can complete it without pain or further injury. I’m going to...

    A Podiatrist in Logroño

    Going through my photos and memorabilia from my CF last year at this time I was reminded of a real bright spot for me in Logrono. I was developing a very painful blister at that point. I located a friendly, wonderful podiatrist who got me right in, took care of the blister, addressed two other...

    Strategy for losing a toenail

    Have a great Camino Kasee! I’ve walked the Camino Frances 3 of the past 4 years in May so will be missing all those red poppies this year! My experience is that it gets better each time. Having healthy toes really helps!

    Strategy for losing a toenail

    I strongly suggest a visit to a podiatrist. You will find many in all the larger cities along the CF. Twice I’ve just knocked on the door without an appointment and was seen within an hour or so. The podiatrist will assess your unique situation and decide whether to save the toenail or to remove...

    Communal dinner in SJPP somewhere that I'm not staying?

    You can start in Bayonne if you have a layover there between trains. There are a couple of busy restaurants across the street from the train station. Smile and ask if you can join other pilgrims at their table. I’ve done that twice and began conversations that lasted well into the Camino. For...

    Sleeping bag or liner in May?

    I’ve walked the CF twice starting April 28 and carried a lightweight sleeping bag. Some nights I crawled into it and shivered, some nights I slept on top of it, and some nights I opened it and used it like a quilt. Many albergues offer a big pile of warm woolen blankets. With just a liner on a...
