Hello,
I'd appreciate any advice on where to buy an electronic cigarette liquid in Leon - I restocked in Burgos, but probably will run out before Santiago. A quick Google search doesn't show any dedicated vaping ships in Leon, but I figured some of you might know a place one could buy some...
Hello,
I would be grateful for some advice from the ones of you who are walking/have recently walked from SJPdP :)
1 - How busy is the first part of the camino right now? I read some reports of a busy beginning of the season, but plenty of beds all around - is it still the case?
2 - re Covid -...
Hello again,
starting next tuesday from SJPdP, and looking for a bit more advice. The weather forecast is not as optimistic as I would have liked, and from what I saw, there is snow on top of the mountains again, as of today. I still hope for it to clear until monday, and to be able to walk the...
Hello,

I'm starting my first camino on friday. Until now, I've been pretty excited, and looking forward to my first vacation this year. But as it's getting closer and closer, the excitement is getting mixed with slight nervousness. I guess that's quite normal? How have you felt before departing on a...
Hi all,
I'm wondering what system do you use to carry your valuables (passport, cash, credit cards etc)? Do you reccomend carrying them outside the backpack in some sort of a fanny pack? In your pocket, so they are on you at all times? I'm thinking about situations like going to the bathroom in...
Hello everybody,
after a couple of years thinking about it, I finally made the decision to go on my first camino. I'm not a big fan of hot weather and large gatherings of people, so after a bit of researching I opted for the Camino del Norte from Bilbao (to wherever I can walk before my...
