    Proximity of Hormilla to the Camino Frances

    Thank you everyone, your responses have been quite helpful! I think I will go with the option of using a taxi to get between the Camino and Hormilla.

    Proximity of Hormilla to the Camino Frances

    I was unable to find lodging in Nájera so I went ahead and booked a room in the (nearby?) small town of Hormilla. The app that I am using to follow the path of the Camino Frances does not have a scale of miles. I am confused, because when I telephoned my hotel in Hormilla to request directions...

    Where to buy Keen in Logrono

    SabsP, The moment I saw your remark about Forum Sport’s Logroño store this morning I immediately called them only to learn that they were 3 minutes from closing time and would not re-open until this evening. Thankfully they agreed to stay open a few minutes longer which meant that I had to...

    Where to buy Keen in Logrono

    Yesterday’s 17 mile walk from Los Arcos to Logroño was a killer for my feet. At this point I have walked 100 miles on the CF and my feet have been painful and a major challenge each and every day. I like the stability of my low rise Keen boots, but even after buying a larger size they are not...

    Mileage tracker

    My experience with AllTrails was far less favorable, as it repeatedly went into sleep mode. Today I started Strava; annoyingly, the settings on the free version of Strava did not allow me to change units of measures from kilometer to miles so I signed up for the one-month trial, but even after...

    Mileage tracker

    Could you please tell me where within the Apple fitness app I can find the option to start and stop tracking? All that I am seeing on my iPhone when using Apple fitness is a summary of my workouts recorded on my Apple Watch. I really want to use Fitness to record tracking on my phone, because I...

    Mileage tracker

    I am searching for an iPhone app that does one thing only, does it well, and does it accurately, which is to track mileage along the Camino. With the most popular apps, all too often they eventually/automatically go to into sleep mode and stop tracking miles. I am careful to configure iPhone...

    LIVE from the Camino Foot care - searching for 2 items

    I feel as though I am spending more time looking for foot care products that actually walking the Camino, ha! I eventually found several products that seem comparable to the ones I was looking for by visiting two of the three aforementioned pharmacies in Puenta La Reina. Thank you!

    LIVE from the Camino Foot care - searching for 2 items

    Hi Trecile, regarding Omni fix and Hypafix — are they the equivalent of KT tape? My podiatrist at home insisted I use moleskin to eliminate friction between my two smallest toes. At the outset of the CF, I made the mistake of walking all the way from San Jean to Roncevalles carry roughly 17...

    LIVE from the Camino Foot care - searching for 2 items

    I currently am walking from Uterga to Villatuerta. I would greatly appreciate any information as to any pharmacy along this segment that sells either of the following items: moleskin, and an excellent product that I originally discovered at a pharmacy in Pamplona sold under the product name...

    Lost & Found Lost my Pilgrim Passport

    I had this related though about lost pilgrim passports. While walking The Camino, at the end of each day's walk, use the smartphone camera to take a picture of the pilgrim's passport taking care to ensure that the image captures all stamps/sellos collected up until that moment in time. In this...

    Hoka Shoe Owners: Speedgoat 5 or the Bondi 8?

    Thank you Woody. Our circumstance are very similar. It is warm for this time of year here in N. Texas, around 27C, and I wear 5-toe Injinji sock liners on my wide feet; the Injinjis do not bunch up when worn under my Darn Tough socks. I used petroleum jelly for several weeks, but found that...
