I had a backpack bladde which I usually filed to 2L. But I also carried a plastic cup that I attached through the waist straps in front. At fountains, I just used this cup but had the bladder for the ascents and descents between fountains
I just finished the Sanabres You never are alone because you meet so many wonderful people. We never walked together but watched for each other every evening
I am leaving this week but don't want to make reservations in Santiago. I agree that it creates an agenda. Also, I want to be free to stay with people that I have met or travel to the coast or Portugal afterwards. My only reservation is at the Madrid airport on the night before my return flight.
I am starting from Puebla de Sanabria on April 27. When I read the stats from the Alberque in Laza, they registered 8 US visitors in one year. Btw, I lived in Ramstein for three years including Kindergarten and First Grade at Ramstein Elementary. Buen Camino all
I highly recommend Melanie's app. I leave in April and it has been great learning tool. Also Google earth has mapped most of the route that is in main roads.
I like this app for its pictures and detailed descriptions. The maps are ok. I have also emailed the author who is a travel writer. She brings the route to life
I am in Austin and leaving on April 25 to walk the camino de Sanabre starting in Puebla de Sanabria. Would be very interested in meeting anyone who has done this route especially at that time of year.
