    Looking for a photo of the camino that I can use on my blog

    Hello! I'm planning a camino in March. I've been obsessively reading the posts here ever since we decided we were going earlier this year. Anyway, one of my BIG projects is learning Spanish. I've got it in my head that I want to be functional by next March. I'm starting a blog about learning...

    learning spanish

    I'd like to pick up some basic Spanish before next spring. I'm fluent in French, so I expect that that will help me learn. What's the best way to learn (both in terms of efficiency and price) if in-person lessons are not an option? I live in the middle of nowhere and there are no classes or...

    down jacket - am I being ridiculous?

    I have a very lightweight down jacket that weighs in at a mere 204 grams. I'm considering bringing it on a March/April camino. What do you think...useful? Or overkill?

    Is carrying a guidebook worth the weight?

    I'm trying to shave another 300 grams off my pack weight, and am having a (very) hard time. Do I need a guidebook for the camino frances in March and April? Will it really make a difference in the quality of my trip? If it will make a difference, then I'll carry it, but if it isn't necessary...

    another newbie packing list - would love critiques!

    I know how tired you experienced camino-ers must get of critiquing people's packing lists. But maybe you're bored and desperate for something to do. Ha! Any thoughts are very, very welcome! This is for a March/April camino. FSO weight: 7319 grams + about 1500 grams for snacks and water...

    Should I buy an Altus? Or are the new ones not trustworthy?

    After spending hours scouring the forums, I decided that I'd buy an Altus when I got to Europe. However, based on Cecelia's recent comment, now I'm no longer sure that it's the best option! (Cecelia, I hope you don't mind that I'm copying and pasting your comment from another thread.)...

    Are shorts necessary in March/April?

    I realize that weather is unpredictable, but in general are shorts necessary on an early spring camino? I've spent a lot of time thinking about layering for warmth...and now I'm worried that I'll end up being too hot near the end! Ha! I don't like zip-off trousers. At all. They just don't feel...

    Looking put-together in cities - am I kidding myself?

    This is mainly a question for the ladies. I know that the camino isn't a fashion show, but I'm wondering if anyone's figured out a way to not look like a complete disaster when taking in the sights in cities? An athletic skirt (which I prefer to walk in instead of shorts) paired with my black...
