What type of Trail Runners with rigid soles do you recommend. I did my last Caminos with boots, looking for something lighter next time. Thinking of the Camino Del Norte and it seems there is a lot of asphalt walking on that one.

About 20 years ago my sister visited Portugal as a tourist and at that time she has no trouble finding Portuguese people who spoke French since it was taught in most schools. I wonder if it is still true or has English taking over.
Almost time to go! On the 15th of April I board a plane for Portugal, walking my second Camino. In 2014, I walked the Camino Frances and this time I am doing the Camino Portuguese starting from Coimbra and walking to Santiago.
