    Booking Ahead

    We were not among the purists who took the chance of finding a bed - we were May/Jun '16 and the last 2/3rds of the StJPdP - Santiago trek were very overcrowded, and though most could find rooms, some were sent to the next town. We simply wished to not have to scramble around town to find a...

    Sandals.. a last minute decision.

    StJPdP to Santiago in Teva TerraFi Lite Sandals without any blisters - wife did whole thing in Chaco's. BUT Teva's is my regular hiking footware for years, and quite used to them. Wear what you're used to on home hikes. Socks on cold or wet days.

    Comment by 'JayPaul53' in media 'Teva Terra Fi Lite'

    ahhhh, a hint of sarcasm - in reality, all the other colors were over $80 - those camo's were $27 on closeout - still wear 'em.

    Having concerns with the distances to walk each day

    took 47 days on purpose. Most all the books we read and guides we followed have a majority doing 28-33 days. The books showing many blowing right through big cities and missing the culture and architecture and food of these great cities. Many saying they had to catch a flight or only had 4...

    Sandals ???

    Teva Terra Fi Lite by JayPaul53 posted Apr 1, 2017 at 9:31 AM I wore Teva Terra Fi Lite's the entire way, incl the Pyrenees... socks on cold days. Not a single blister. Wife wore similar Chacos, all the way, no blisters. BUT this is what we ordinarily wore on all our hikes for many years - I'd...

    The perfect iPhone App for the Camino Francés ?

    Agree - TrekRight was my go-to app, along with Booking.com (yes, I'm one of those!) as well as Google Translate.

    SJPDP accommodation

    Gite Ultreia near the old Church at the bottom of the hill (which you will climb up and down several times!) was our overnight - very friendly Basque woman running it at the time. Remember the phrase "Bide On" (Be-Day Own) which is Basque for Buen Camino. While in town wander south along the...

    Walking in Sandals in Spring on Camino Frances

    I walked the whole way, including the Pyrenees, in Teva Terra Fi Lite Sandals, and my wife did it in Chaco's. We went in May/June '16. Neither got a single blister, and the mud was not a real problem. When they got dirty we just walked in a nearby stream for a few minutes. Most Albergues do...

    Cruz de Ferro photographs please

    I was in a knee brace, on crutches and in a car by the time we got to Cruz de Ferro, but my bride was continuing on (and made the full trip)... here is my favorite picture from our visit.
