    My Travel / Transport Approach to Camino Frances Internationally via Paris

    Indeed, that is correct. A quick rundown of the process that I experienced: EB takes payment of €70 in SJPDP at the time of luggage drop-off. They emphasize that luggage is stored in a secure area in their partner’s facility in Santiago, The Loop Inn. You receive a receipt they emphasize is...

    My Travel / Transport Approach to Camino Frances Internationally via Paris

    Greetings Fellow Peregrinos, I notice quite a bit of inquiry on the topic of how best to travel with one’s backpack and how to get to SJPDP. As such, I wanted to share travel logistics for my trip from Washington, DC to SJPDP via Paris, to embark on the CF in May of 2023. My apologies, as this...

    Sick of Merino! Bamboo instead?

    Greetings Stephan, Fellow Peregrino, Martin, recently made a highly relevant post that folks already invested a fair bit of candle power into developing. It mentions several options beyond Merino. I am pointing you there because I wouldn’t recommend bringing anything on a Camino made of bamboo...

    Soft tips for new walkers

    7. On the all-too-important topic of water, respectfully, many of the solutions one will find are 20th Century modalities. I found a Nalgene water bottle (lightweight and durable) w/ integrated water filter by www.epicwaterfilters.com/collections/bottles. I trekked the whole length of the CF...

    Any suggestions for a technical shirt with the performance of Merino but without the drawbacks?

    I’m hoping they work out for you, my good man! Haha, I hear you! The prices are not for the faint of heart! I have several of their other items as well, and they are all holding up great. I actually used their Race to Zero vest during my Camino quite a bit. It’s super light, but has enough...

    Any suggestions for a technical shirt with the performance of Merino but without the drawbacks?

    Hi Martin, Indeed, pricey, but intriguing! I own the ceramic t-shirt. Apart from looking and fitting great, I haven’t truly field tested the ceramic t-shirt just yet. I know the ceramic fabric is slightly thicker than merino and has a tad-bit less give, but boasts many similar properties, and...

    Any suggestions for a technical shirt with the performance of Merino but without the drawbacks?

    Greetings Martin, I have a brand that I love and trust, but they are quite dear when it comes to price. I trekked my Camino Frances last year kitted out primarily in their clothing, and everything performed tremendously well. The company is Vollebak.They make adventure clothing out of...

    Drinking water @hotels

    Greetings Glenn, I stayed in hotels exclusively the full length of the Camino Frances in 2023, unless I needed an appropriate lodging substitute where no hotels existed. I relied on tap water at hotels, and felt very confident because my drinking vessel was the following, which includes an...

    I really wish I knew that!

    Some very nice contributions, but as with so many posts/threads on here, you would need an archaeologist and a monk to extract the pertinent tidbits from the confines of the superfluous. Throwing the used TP into a bin is most assuredly the extreme exception. This is Western Europe, not...
