    Need Advice on Route Change

    I am walking the Frances now just past Logroño and have been a bit off the main stages. Some days I barely see anyone, to the point I ended up walking with someone a little in the more isolated areas. Maybe I just got lucky but its been very chill. The buen camino’s I hear are mainly from...

    knee pain

    thank you! I ended up seeing a dr this morning because my calf got enflamed and hot. She seems to think it is just the calf muscle with the possibility a bakers cyst burst though my symptoms are mild for a bakers cyst rupture.

    What to carry in my wallet

    How much money do you recommend taking with you? I thought about taking 1500 euro which is hopefully all I will need but then avoids the need for all the atm fees. And I figure I will keep my money pouch with me always anyway. Thank you!

    Only Sandals in October?

    I tried them in the shop but there was pressure on the ball of my foot when walking… 🤷‍♀️. I was given a pair of running shoes with a wide toe box to try but not sure they are solid enough. The sandals are more sturdy.

    Only Sandals in October?
