  1. MilenaS

    Was planning to walk from Santander to Gijon commencing 18 June but now I'm worried about accommodation...

    I have a fresh thread here somewhere about the Norte (I am on my flight back). I had no problem booking ahead a day or not booking at all up until Arzua. Stayed mostly in hostels and albergues, and occasionally in a private room. Buen Camino

    As @peregrina2000 says, it was a full lunch at the restaurant in the basement of the Parador. It was simple, but very good, and in amazing company. Such a lovely tradition.

    Blister help in Santiago

    Good luck! I was very thankful for seeing a podiatrist. He cleaned my blisters and gave me a care regimen that had me going again after a rest day.

    Blister help in Santiago

    I just did a search in google maps for “podologa” and got a lot of hits in Santiago. When I needed one in Ponferrada two years ago I went of reviews on google maps 😊

    Camino fatigue?

    I hear you! This one got to me too. You put it in words perfectly. I will give it time and as someone says, do another one when I feel I need it.

    Thank you so much! I only had a liner, but a thermal one. I think it is from Sea to summit, the red one. I have been cold some nights. I had had the same one on the Frances and Portuguese. And at that time I was fine. So I don’t dare say…. And June is warmer.

    I started 6:30 from Monte de Gozo so I i was at the cathedral around 7:30. Think we were three in total on the Plaza. It has become my tradition to stop just before Santiago and have an early walk in. Buen camino! I hope it brings you what you wish for/need!

    Day 31 - Monte to Santiago Made it! No gorgeous sunrise since it was cloudy. But still marvelous. I was number 5 in line so got the “golden ticket” for lunch at the restaurant next to Parador 😍

    Day 30 - A Rua to Monte de Gozo The sun is out! Oh my. And all the cafees! I forgot how much it helps to split the day up. 5k left tomorrow 😍

    I have used Topo ultraventures. Not the most cushioned shoes. So will have to do some research when I get back. I did not like how wobbly the Hoka’s felt. And love the wide fit of the Topo’s.

    It has been like that all day. I am totally amused. Luckily it’s just for two days, but oh my gosh.

    Day 29 - Arzua to A Rua Not as much rain today. But boy oh boy - there were so many pilgrims. I think I have seen more people today than on the whole 4 weeks on the Norte - including the locals 😂

    Yeeees! Are you my lunch companion?

    I could not believe my luck with those eggs! Albergue Lecer sells the breakfast for the restaurant Meson just across the street. 3 euros for coffee, tostada with queso and EGGS! One lucky girl! I had issues with my feet on the Portuguese too, but not on Frances. So I think the hard surfaces are...

    It’s been raining again. And there has been angry dogs. And my feet hurt so much that I cry while I walk… but not much left. And in a week or two I will just remember the good things 😂 Day 27 - A Roxica to Sobrado Day 28 - Sobrado to Arzua

    Plastic Storage Bins in Santiago???

    I did that last time too. And left it packaged like that on my balcony when I came home - thought of it as bed bug measure 😂 Opened it after two weeks or so.

    Day 26 - Miraz to A Roxica Turns out 10 km is too short of a day for me. Doesn’t help that there is absolutely nothing between these two places 😂 But it was dry and a lot was on trails, which I thoroughly enjoyed. So, I have reorganized my days so I get to Santiago with days between 14 and 20...

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    I am planning on doing something like that when I get to Santiago in a few days. Do you remember the name of the company?

    Day 25 - Baamonde to Miraz Nice walking day. Rain again but the trail was not too muddy. Now staying at the lovely CSJ donativo albergue.
