    Getting to Cruz de Ferro from el camino del norte

    Thanks for the itinerary Sil. Sounds doable but maybe fruitless. Regardless, I would like to see the cruz again. I would replace the rock with another as to not leave the pile with one less. Funny things we/I think about between caminos....

    Hostal Puente Fitero? Itero de la Vega

    I stayed in Itera de la Vega a year ago practically to the day. There were two albergues at the time. We walked by the first one and stayed at a smaller private one and treated ourselves to a two-room with two single beds, (no bunks) for 10 or 12 Euros. There was a sunny private courtyard...

    Anyone have experience with numbness/tingling in one toe?

    Good old Mortons! Your surgery story to have the tumours removed is inspiring. I am going to look into it. I have been enjoying your blog Sandra and I like how you promised not to leave it dangling once you finished your camino. Your pix are great. It must be a nice way of keeping the post...

    Getting to Madrid

    I took the overnight train from Santiago to Madrid last October. It was fabulous. I had a cozy bunk in a 4 bed sleeper. I had a delicious dinner in the dining car and I woke up in Madrid, refreshed, in the daylight which allowed me time to figure out where I was going to stay that night. I...

    Items I overlooked, but wished I had

    Sarongs....I brought my Frida Kahlo sarong. It looked like art hanging on the clothes line every night I washed it. It was an instant picnic table anywhere. Shelter from the sun. A post shower wrap. A pillow case. A satchel.... A wrap for the shoulders on cool nights...Easy to wash. Fast...

    knee trouble

    I discovered that I had knee problems while walking the camino last year. I bought knee supports along the way which turned out to be my best friend. The pharmacist told me to keep my back at around 7 kgs which also helped a great deal. What is so great about knee supports, aside from being...
