    Favorite end of day shoes

    These do not have any buckles. They are all one piece and plastic. Zoom in on the foto. I know exactly what you mean about the others. Since I am carrying these all day until the end - the weight is a big factor.

    Microfiber Bath Towel or something else? (How to get dry)

    I used a shemagh on the Camino Frances last fall - dries fast and light weight. Multi use as I wore it daily and used it for ground cover, shade, a sling to elevate feet from the upper bunk - the list goes on. I used it at home first to check absorbency. Not like a fluffy towel but I got used...

    I second the recommendation of a Hoka boot. I wore the Hoka Kaha. It served me quite well.

    Multipurpose shoes for shower and town?

    I used the Teva Hurricane drift after I was done walking for the day. Same material as crocs - they are as light or lighter. Moderate arch support. Super comfortable and come in many colors for men and women.

    Which poncho?

    I highly recommend the Altus poncho. I experienced about 10 days of solid rain on the Camino Frances last fall (September-October) starting in Galicia —->Finisterre. I was dry the entire time. The zipper and velcro in the front allowed me to wear it open for ventilation when not actively raining.

He stated that the best time to call is 7pm Spain time. I was not required to pay or leave credit card information - just my name for the reservation. Do...
