    Need help deciding to bring or not to bring

    My two cents: Sleeping liner – take a liner at minimum – I always have done on my Caminos which are usually May/June. Municipal Albergues give you a bottom sheet for the mattress only. If you sleep cold, take a light sleeping bag instead – I don’t bother as the liner is fine in summertime for...

    LIVE from the Camino Esponsende

    There's a private albergue in Esposende but I can't recall the name (I walked the Portuguese coastal in 2019) It is on booking.com and near the main square.

    The Way: how do you feel about THE movie?

    Yep, I'm a solid 3. Never seen the movie but of course I'm aware of it. It isn't as popular or as big of a deal this side of the Atlantic I think and it isn't available on any of the streamers over here (Ireland) as far as I'm aware, at least, not on I subscribe to anyway. If it ever crosses my...

    Frivolous debate - swimsuit vs 3rd set of undergarments

    How heavy is the scarf? I'm not really a scarf person and I don't think you will want one to wear in the traditional way (around your neck/shoulders) in June, but if it is pretty light it could be useful in other ways; sarong, privacy curtain in albergue bunk? Just in case you really wanted to...

    Frivolous debate - swimsuit vs 3rd set of undergarments

    I really can't think you would need a puffy jacket in June. I certainly wouldn't! I would substitute for windbreaker/rain jacket for sure! I walked Portuguese coastal/litoral in Many 2019. Had lots of swims, the weather was great and it certainly was not chilly!

    Sunscreen?

    Post Camino suggestions

    Love this suggestion. I spent 5 days post-Camino (Portuguese) recovery, rest and relaxation, in A Coruna in May 2019. A lovely town with a vibrant centre, good bars and nightlife and beaches right there in the town. Often overlooked and I hope it does stay a little off the radar but form I was...

    What to carry in my wallet

    absolutely - I am seeing a lot of paranoia and undue fear about carrying items the majority of us carry around in a normal handbag, in our daily lives with no issues.

    What to carry in my wallet

    It also looks to me like far too many bank cards, one top up debit card and possibly a credit card is plenty in my opinion. 4 different cards feels like overkill!

    What to carry in my wallet

    I shouldn't think there is any need to carry a drivers license of any kind unless you will be hiring a car while in Spain! Your passport is your ID and what the majority if not all of the albergues, hostals, hotels and other places requiring ID will need to see.

    Walking the Camino Ingles mid-October

    I walked it in 6 days at the start of June this year by taking two short days at the start. Starting in Ferrol and walking to Neda on day 1, staying in Neda albergue and from Neda to Miño on day 2. Then Miño (municipal albergue) to Pontedeume, (there is a municipal alberuge but I stayed in a...

    Walking the Camino Portugues as a Woman: Safety Concerns and Advice

    Absolutely the same for me. Walked Portuguese coastal in May 2019 and always felt completely safe. As previous response mentioned, if being alone is a concern, you really never need to be unless you chose to be. Portugal and Spain are incredibly safe countries. I travel a lot on my own and tend...
