    July and August...and wool socks

    I believe the socks are as important as the shoe in preventing blisters, I walked from end of May to July and wore a pair of Bridgedale xhale speed diva (men's equivalent is speed demon) without any liners. They work out very well. I also brought a pair of Bridgedale xhale multisport socks with...

    Are boots a must on Norte?

    Just got back from Camino Frances, thinking of walking Norte, heard that it has much more uphill and downhill sections, are boots a must? I had hiking shoes for frances and it worked out well, not sure if more ankle support is necessary on norte. Are the hills mostly asphalt?
