I have been thinking about the CF since 1968 and walked first time in 2014
Nice to see it afterwards and I love to revisit the small world it portrays.
Everything come with a premise:
This is a film about A camino, not THE Camino..
These are fictional characters, each given a certain role as...
All my communication with every booking that I have had on Booking.com has been through the app itself.
I have never received an email....
Would it be prudent simply to be very suspicious of emails, or is the problem that the app is also compromised !??
It is such futile excercise to count your caminos, I find. Numbers are such teasers.....I will rather try out some of caminos there is to walk in Spain and Portugal, and make That a project...one down , more to go....
I am waking up every morning at 6 o´clock. Between 5:57 and 6:04!! -except today where I slept till 7:45 after 4 coughing and sniffling nights, so I deserved this late one. Very few late mornings...
I usually wake up rested and want "to get on with it". Luckily I still walk to my job only 3 kms...
Already here is a plethora of good stuff.
I tend not to eat white bread at all, and I have still to find gazpacho in cartons...
Another strategy is doing supermercados alternate days for the sake of variety and economy or even practicability.

My first time out, I had lot of knee problems as my orthotics were not sufficient and my...
Ask your friends- your feet:
If you are blister-prone, you might try the 1 hour solution, which is every hour on the hour, stop take off boots/shoes, inspect and massage your feet, turn out your socks, hang them to dry on the loops of your rucksack. take dry frersh socks, alternate during the...
At least consider Bilbao
I had 5 days planned as a buffer and had a fixed flight out from Bilbao airport.
It was the perfect decompression place, lots to see and eat, everybody spoke English
I stayed in Casco Viejo which is a lively and interesting place.
My wife and I went back there as her...
I was sure to make it come home safely too, and bought a cardboard box at the Correros office that would fit the Compostela in tube and would then fill it up with the enticing nicknacks and the extra shell for the wall that would be too good to NOT buy and fill this into the box.
Tape it up...
Think of the dorms at the Albergue as 3rd class on a railway.
It is here the sounds and smells of the common man are as he lives and breathes. Or she....
Smells will be emitted, toilet doors banged in the night, snores in three part disharmony....
Think this as facts of life and draw your own...

I have IF days where breakfast time is 10a.m.. My job is sleeping 24 hr watches, and going off in the morning, I often go through the morning on just a coffee and water...
On the camino I often have early waking up hours and will some days walk until I hit my 10 o´clock and the the first proper...
I, for one, do not know exactly what is expected of me, when I am shouted at from behind.
Good traffic logic is for cyclists to use the bell, which not many seem to use/ or to have as the case might be.
What is being shouted?
