    When should I stop training?

    Given your ambitious training schedule, I would suggest resting from 7 to 10 days before starting the Camino. I would however recommend you stretch up to the time of your hike.

    Thanks so much for the reply. What month were you there? I stayed at Cuatro Contones last May. Loved the friendly service and great food. Just prefer private room in the future.

    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    Wore Merrill trail runners this year and loved them. Super comfortable, no blisters, able to handle the terrain. Sole is not as thick as my Keen's or Vasque's, and likely will not last as long, but for Camino hikes, it will be Merrill's.

    Thanks very much for your response. This is all new to me so I do have a couple of questions as a follow up. First, I assume you use the Spanish SIM card to make calls only in Spain. Correct? Does it cover texts as well? Am I assigned a different phone number or do I use my current one...
