    A Quiet Camino Route?

    Hi I am looking for my next Camino and like the look of this one starting in Seville. I am a solitary individual and comfortable with my own company. My last one was the camino Madrid which was very peaceful. My question is how many walk this route and would I be able to find my own space?

    Start of Camino in Lisbon

    I have just noticed that the Camino actually starts at the Church of Santiago in Lisbon and not the Cathedral. How many people start at the church as opposed to the cathedral? Starting on the 15 March and want to get it right.

    The Corfu Trail

    Well I have just finished the Corfu Trail as an alternative to the Camino's. I have walked the Camino Frances and several long distance paths and have to say this one was very different. Not so many miles a day but very rugged and surprisingly remote in places. Only saw 3 other couples walking...

    Mattress covers?

    Permethrin ????

    I am a bit concerned bed bugs and from reading some posts it is suggested treating your sleeping bag and bed sheet with permethrin. I have seen various sprays for sale that contain this but not a liquid form that you could add to a wash. Any suggestions?
