Then the clinic told me that they don't do tests on site, and the results would not come back for many days. I then went to what appeared to be a small ER...

    Early morning coffee

    I hear you. I'm the same way. If there isn't a coffee machine, you should come across a place with coffee, usually within 2 hours. If you are using the Brierley book, the maps will show a tiny coffee cup, to indicate a cafe bar Along the way. Bring a headlamp--you will need it to see the Camino...

Otherwise you may really hurt for...

    For Roncesvalle through Burgos: Pamplona--try to arrange to get there a few hours early to see Museo de Navarre, cathedral, old wall. At night, go to the nonstop tapas bars close to Jesus y Maria municipal hostel. Viana--1/2 day at the end of the day to just relax, enjoy the vibe, see Iglesia de...

    Camino without any preparation?

    I have walked the camino 3 times, each time 40 to 60% of the camino. The first time I had absolutely no preparation so I started in Roncesvalle. I too walk a lot a lot at work but even then, pounding my feet for about 7 hours a day on the camino gave me plantar fasciitis--it got so bad that even...
