    App for tracking mileage/sharing photos?

    Anyone have suggestions for an app to use on the Camino to track daily mileage, and also to post and share photos? I have used Strava in the past when cycling, but I’m not sure that would be appropriate for walking the Camino. I have seen a few users who have used Polarsteps, which looks...

    Too Much Time!

    Just curious -- how many days did it take you, and did that include any rest days?

    First stop out of Lisbon, Camino Portuguese.

    Thank you for introducing me to Polarsteps and linking to your blog. I have been looking for something to document and share my upcoming Camino (also starting in Lisbon) with family and friends. Just curious—did you run the app while walking each day, or did you just use the geolocation from the...

    Not-to-miss places (albergues, towns, beaches and churches)in the Camino del Norte during the fall

    This is the post I didn't know I needed! I am also walking the del Norte/Primitivo in the fall, looking for some great advice from those who have traveled this route in September/October.

    Favorite gear items

    Looking for Advice on Timing to Walk Camino del Norte/Primitivo

    You suggest something that I had not thought of -- buying clothing as needed! That's a great suggestion. The scales are tipping in favor of September at this point...

    Looking for Advice on Timing to Walk Camino del Norte/Primitivo

    Great insight, Walli. I'd also rather see where each days takes me, but it sounds like the more crowded it gets, the more planning is needed.

    Looking for Advice on Timing to Walk Camino del Norte/Primitivo

    Thank you, Anthony! I'm looking for a bit of "solitude", which is one of several reasons I chose this route over CF. Sounds like Sept/Oct may help with that but bring some cooler weather.

    Good to know! Thank you for that additional insight. It’s sounding like there are pros and cons to both timeframes, which is what I suspected. Buen Camino!
