    Finding Camino Patches

    I’ve been to a store 2-3 times in the past several years that has every sew on patch imaginable. Over 100 types with routes, distances and years. It’s a small store, still inside the city center less than a km from the cathedral. Does anyone know the store? It is not any of the ones within 100M...

    Hi everyone, Just completed my first Camino and wanted a tattoo to celebrate! I highly recommend Calipso Tattoo and Piercing Coruna. Julia was awesome and helped both my aunt and I create what worked for us. It was my aunts first tattoo!

    Opticians in Santiago 👓

    For reasons I won't bore you with, I'm considering buying lenses and frames (out of pocket, recent prescription) in Santiago after I finish my camino, as opposed to purchasing in the states pre-camino, then bringing over in luggage. Can anyone offer up info re cost difference on Spain vs. US...

    Doctors in Santiago

    Hey guys, we are walking to Santiago and when we get there we might have to see a doctor in Santiago. Does anyone have advice? Should we go to the hospital. A GP (general practitioner) should be fine. What is the cheapest and easiest? It would be great if they can speak English. Thanks

    Santiago presents for little granddaughters

    Here’s an unusual question. What do I bring as gifts to my four young granddaughters when I return? They range in age from 2-8 years old. T-shirts will be outgrown in a matter of months, little trinkets (most likely made in China) will be forgotten soon enough. I’m thinking a Spanish doll or...

    In Santiago—an obscure question?

    I’m thinking this is probably more of a question for Ivar or someone who lives here: Any idea where I would go to get something laminated (small 6x9cm)?

    Bike packing service in SdC

    Would anyone know of a bike shop in SdC who offers a bike packing service to assist in me flying back home with my bike? I've searched in the forum but it appears some of the suggestions point to shops that unfortunately no longer exist. Any suggestions would be most grateful.
