    summer footgear - waterproof or no?

    Hi all, You've convinced me that trail runners are the way to go. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/trail-running-shoes.29127/#post-244137 You also gave me the great advice to walk for hours before going to try on shoes. I did that today, and whoa, I'm in a bigger shoe! The...

    Planning timeline

    Forgive me if this has been addressed, but couldn't find anything via search. I'm planning to walk the Camino in the summer of 2015. It seems so far away now, so theoretical. But I know it's going to sneak up on me. Can anyone give some suggestions on making a timeline for planning? How far out...

    Why the Camino Frances?

    Hi all. I'm wondering why folks choose the Frances route over the other ones. Practical reasons? Spiritual considerations? I'd love to know what goes into making that decision as I begin planning my own camino.
