    SIM Card doubt - Arriving from Paris

    I always get an Orange sim last time was 20gb I think it was €20 lasts for ages also for security of being able to call. I wouldn’t get a sim in France.

    Primitivo or Norte?

    I had knee injuries on both caminos so bad that I didn’t think I could continue. It’s amazing what a days rest can do. Elasticated knee bandage supports work wonders for me allowing me to continue I don’t usually walk with poles but they do help And make going up hill easier. The portion from...

    Is the Camino Primitivo more physically challenging than other routes?

    My first Camino was the Primitivo in winter. Second Ingles. Third Frances 4th Portuguese from Lisboa internal then crossing along coastal and final Camino to this date Le Puy de Valey to St.Jean then crossed onto Gr11to join El Norte. I think Primitivo was the most difficult due to elevations IMHO
