    Cotton blend socks

    Try a synthetic sock instead of cotton. Wool isn't for everyone. I like the WrightSocks double layer socks. https://www.wrightsock.com/

    Advice sought for wounds on feet from walking

    There's always someone advocating for it against something. I like the double layer socks because I'm too lazy to wash two pair. 😄

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    There's a hotel with restaurant and a bar up there. https://maps.google.com/?cid=12038051614112324601&entry=gps https://maps.app.goo.gl/B1ht4cgiKDHE5DYZ9

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    You can learn to pronounce it, but as soon as you say "soy estadounidense" wait two seconds for someone to say "ah, American." 😉 PS break it down into syllables and it will soon be rolling off your tongue. And it might be easier to say "soy de Estados Unidos."

    If I were in charge of planning for a large group I wouldn't mind a scapegoat if things go awry. 😉

    How To Prepare for Camino - First Timer

    I see that you are in the US. I recommend that you check to see if there's a local chapter of American Pilgrims near you. https://americanpilgrims.org/

    How To Prepare for Camino - First Timer

    I suggest that you start by reading the different sections of this forum. There are many sub forums including gear selection, route selection, and travel and transport options. No one can answer all of your questions in one post.

    lockers in Finisterre?

    Or there are left luggage places in Santiago.

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    I highly recommend stopping in Lires between Muxía and Finisterre - it makes for a much more relaxing final Camino walk. I would do two nights each in Muxía and Finisterre, with one night in Lires.

    Are passport copies accepted at albergues?

    The photo copy may seem like a good idea, but can have negative consequences:

    New lightweight backpack from REI

    I really wanted to take it, because it's super comfortable, but the first time that I tried it out the straps made an annoying sound as they rubbed on the fabric of the pack, so I'm using the same backpack that I've used for the last couple of Caminos.

    Definitely consider hiking sandals and socks after those blisters have healed.

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    Easier and quicker than Finisterre or Muxía - only a half hour by train. It's a much bigger city than Santiago, but the old town is compact, and there's quite a bit to do there...

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    If you don't want to do any real walking I can recommend going to A Coruña instead. Lots more to do there than Finisterre.

    current status of albergue bed availability on CDN

    Yes, the English word is credential.

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    It would be too many days for me. How about walking to Muxía and taking the bus from there back to Santiago? Spend a night halfway at Lires.

    How to choose shoes?

    Rather than go to the REI store you can order a variety of options from them and then just make one trip to return those that don't work out - and you'll have s year to do it.
