    Favorite Toothpaste?

    At Peregrina 2000's suggestion I am now posing the question about what is your favorite toothpaste to take when you walk on the Camino? My hope is that this thread is solely dedicated to the topic without becoming controversial like the thread I posted about deodorant preferences. Just...

    Deodorant Preferences

    I wanted to ask you if you have a favorite deodorant/antiperspirant that works well for you when you're walking long distances and want to carry minimal weight in your pack. I have traveled with mini size toiletries, for years including the regular well-known brands of antiperspirants you find...

    Barajas Airport Transfer

    Flying AA from US and arriving at Barajas 9:05 terminal T4 and on to Oviedo on Iberia at 11:40 also from T4. Hopefully, enough time? I will not have any checked luggage, but with my hiking poles in a case inside my pack I'm concerned Iberia will still want my backpack checked. My tickets were...

    Ruta do Mar Shorter Stages?

    I would like to walk Ruta do Mar and Camino Inglés next spring and have the Cicerone new guidebook. I've tried planning my daily walking distances following the guidebooks information and also a variation but some days the mileage always ends up being longer than I'd like to walk. Has anyone...

    Camino Portugués - Coastal Route

    Well, months have gone by since I posted last and during this time my friends and I have committed to walking the Camino Portugués from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. We will be in Porto on the 14th of March and plan to begin our Camino on the 16th. Because weather can be a major factor on...

    My best friends and I are planning another Camino, this time we are limited to walking only 15 days and have contemplated going either on the CP from Tui to Santiago, Camino del Norte from Avilés to Santiago or Camiño Dos Faros.

    Apple Watch on the Camino

    My iPhone and iPad are coming with me and I will have them mostly on airplane mode until I am at place with a strong WiFi signal to use for free. Is an Apple Watch even a good idea to bring along? Won't it need to connect to my iPhone? Definitely I am not a techie, so this is a question that...

    Camino Sanabrés From Zamora (VDLP)?

    My question is if you know what is the best way to get from the Barajas airport in Madrid to Zamora as soon as possible? Do I really need to go to Chamartín and catch the train? Are there no busses from the airport that go directly to Zamora? Any experience or information you have about this I...

    Camino Sanabrės

    Hi everyone! It's been a while since I was here, and like last time I am seeking your expertise; your advice for my 2013 CDN was invaluable and I had the most touching spiritual moments of my life. Now I understand the reason so many want to go back. My goal is to return in 2016, and I can't...

    Is it ethical to use the forum to advertise member's busines

    I never paid attention before, but as I came back from my Camino and have been participating on this forum I noticed that there are several members who use this platform to recruit clients for their personal Camino guided tour business. I question the practice, because, obviously, the target...

    Saving a bed at an albergue

    I realize there is etiquette, consideration for others and politeness to practice along the Camino, (anywhere, for that matter), but I have a concern. With no intention of being rude or inconsiderate, would you be able to tell me if is it at all appropriate for a faster walker to arrive at an...

    Length of time from Irún to San Sebastián

    Dear Peregrinos, What do you think would be the minimum amount of time you would allow from Irún to SS? After spending the night there, the first thing I have to do in Irún is go to the post office to mail a package before I can set foot on the Camino. My fear is that if I were to leave around...

    Is it possible to walk from Bilbao airport to Portugalete?

    Is it possible to begin walking on/towards Portugalete on the Camino del Norte right from Bilbao's airport? A friend of mine will be joining me eventually in Santillana del Mar, but she would like to start walking as she deplanes in Bilbao around noon. I suggested she rest there, but she prefers...

    Gear Planner Spreadsheet

    In this site you can download the gear planner spreadsheet which is an amazing tool to help you curve your backpack's/rucksack's weight. It is probably the best one I have seen in years of planning and weighing all of my gear. It was not created by me, but by Erik a young man who is known by...

    iPhone5

    Hello Pilgrims, Realizing that this is a topic that has been asked so so many times, the one thing I have not read regarding cellphone use along the CDS is if anyone considering a plan from their own cellphone provider. Many have stated that all they are bringing along for...

    Bilbao to Irun

    I thought it better to ask those of you with experience for some guidance. When I arrive into the Bilbao airport I would like to immediately head over to Irún. The bus schedule from ALSA does show a bus that goes there throughout the day, but the times don´t work with my arrival time. I would...

    How to get from Oviedo to San Esteban on the Camino del Nort

    Hi fellow Pilgrims, One of my friends will be flying into Oviedo to meet me and do the rest of the Camino del Norte with me; the problem is that I won't be there yet and she will have to find her way to San Esteban de Leces (according to my calculations that's where we can hook up). My concern...
