Bed race on the VDLP…
Of course, if possible I sleep in hostels. I prefer the public pilgrim hostels. If I can't find a bed there, I'll use my tarp. I'll have to carry it with me, but it's worth it to me.

My backpack with equipment still only weighs 4.2 kg (without food and...- Macker

Clothing made from this synthetic fiber is only slightly heavier than Merino, dries extremely quickly (it's already dry when it comes out...- Macker

Via de la Plata or Levante or Mózarabe
I did the Via de la Plata in 2018 (part 1: 516 km and part 2: 485 km) and the Camino de Levante (1212 km) in 2019. My preferred hiking time in Spain is February to April or October to November because of the expected temperatures. February/March is the rainy season in Spain. You should be...- Macker
