    Men's Pants - There Can Be Only One

    When I walk the Camino in 2019 I wore REI Adventure Pants. They don't make them anymore and they were not perfect anyway. When I travel and hike, I try to carry as little as possible.

    Is it possible to walk from St. Jean in mid-March

    I am leaving Seattle on March 15, 2016. I know the weather will be a factor, but is it even practical to plan to start from St. Jean at that time of the year? Special considerations? I appreciate any advice. I decided to go at this time to avoid crowding.

    Jumping from the Madrid to the VdlP

    I have posted before that I don't want to walk on the over-crowded CF. I would like to start in Madrid walking the Camino de Madrid and jump to the Via de la Plata. I was looking at maps and it looks like it might make sense to leave the CdM at Valladolid and travel to Zamora. Workable...

    Alternative to Finishing on the Camino de Frances

    I am planning on walking the Camino Madrid in fall 2015 or spring 2016. I would like to avoid if possible the shock of walking with the crowds on the Camino Frances to finish the journey. Is there a way?

    Madrid in 2016

    I will be walking the Camino Madrid in either September of 2015 or May of 2016 (depends of my retirement date). I will be 65 and I think it will be a good celebration of that milestone. Any advice or reference to resources would receive sincere appreciation.
