    Have you walked the camino after a significant weight gain?

    Sound advice points above (I especially like Jarrad’s). You’ve done Camino‘s before so you already know all the tips so all that’s left to say is… Ultreia et suseia! 🙂

    Pilgrim passport in Canada?

    If you’re Canadian it’s kind of fun to have your credential from the CCoP with the Canadian flag on it. They will make every effort to get it to you quickly as they are super helpful…orders@santiago.ca Buen Camino!

    5 “Unproven” Facts About Norte

    Yes, to everything! I kept thinking if I had to go up one more climb…. 😵‍💫 However, I too, didn’t hike too much on asphalt overall (and when I did it was just part of the very beautiful journey of the Norte and I accepted when I did as part of the bigger picture even though my knees hated it! 🙃)...

    Bag Transfers on Del Norte

    I used Correos the entire Norte route; the were easy to use and contact if necessary. They have excellent customer service all the way and price discounts if you book multiple usages up front. I highly recommend them!

    I'm so discouraged!

    Hi Paula, Armaskin liner socks!! (Silicone no moisture or slipping , both of which cause blisters) You’ll never have another blister! Love them… (I still lathered with Vaseline though just because I like the feel on my feet!😂) buen camino!

    Norte - Hiking Alone, Hoping to Meet Others?

    Hi, I’m walking the northern route third week of August thru to October (I think it’ll take me that long 😂) and I hope to build a few “Camino” friendships along the way. I’ve always read that “Camino families” are formed; that you’ll walk and meet some Camino friends along the way, possibly...
