    Iberia, by James Michener, a worthy read before, during, or after a camino

    I just read the final chapters on the Camino, learned so much I didn’t know while walking the Camino

    LIVE from the Camino Bed bugs in Sarria

    This happened to me in 2024. May can be cold.

    Plantar fasciitis.

    Since your pack seemed to affect it, I would send the pack ahead. And I’d get one of those small golf ball sized spikes balls and roll the bottom of your feet as often as you can, when stopping for breaks, in morning and night. You can also buy a band that goes on the arch of your foot.

    Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it?

    I walked with an osprey aura first Camino. Too heavy for me. I switched to osprey eja, light weight. It made all the difference for me. The Norte is quite hilly so as little weight as possible is my mantra.

    Sleeping bag or just liner (starting Frances at SJPdP on April 25th)

    I walked April and May two separate years and I would have been way too cold in just liner.

    Is it OK to write emails in English when booking accommodation?

    I write my message on Google translate and cut and paste the message. If they respond in Spanish, I cut and paste it into Google translate and read it. It feels respectful, takes 30 seconds.

    Movie: The Road to Santiago

    Yes. Thank you. I thought I missed something and maybe it was someone he walked with.

    Movie: The Road to Santiago

    I have just watched The Road to Santiago documentary. At the end is a memorial to Bobby. Does anyone know the story behind this?

    Experience with Plantar Fasciitis

    I have a similar problem. Having walked the Camino previously I know that the day to day 20-24 km hike can be brutal on your body. So, I have seen my doctor, had X-rays, gone to a physio therapist, working with him on strengthening my Achilles tendon with daily exercises, roll my foot out with a...

    Mansilla de la Mulas to León: why bother?

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the “polka dot town” in this stretch? Villamoros de Mansilla. A very curious walk!

    Is a booster shot vs tetanus advisable?

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Meseta now. Advice welcome

    Beautiful experience. I stayed at the beautiful monastery in the west end of Carrion, one of my delightful stays.

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    I would seriously consider starting in Pamplona. There are a lot more options after Pamplona if you are willing to go off Brierly stages and look at all options, casa rural, pensions etc.

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Stay in smaller towns not in the Brierly stages.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    Good to know. I missed anything open.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?

    Maybe there are other places open for breakfast can’t remember, but for me, I wish I’d had more and had snacks with me as there was little on the trail that day.

    Meals in Roncesvalles, worth it?
