    My First Hiking Shoe question

    I also have a slightly narrow foot and have found Salomon trail runners work well for me with Wright socks, no blisters. MEC has the socks but I find SAIL has a better selection of shoes. I have walked numerous Caminos including the Portuguese twice from Lisbon and they were perfect every time.

    shoes for narrow feet

    I wear the exact same size, narrow width with left foot slightly larger. I’m currently on the Camino in Salomon Speed Cross size 9 and Wright socks. No blisters and very comfortable and durable. This is my second Camino in the same shoes/sock combo.

    Traveling from western Canada - how far in advance do you book your flights?

    We booked two weeks in advance, Toronto to Biarritz $2600 for the two of us. Make sure your connecting times are not too tight. Charles de Gaulle was an absolute nightmare with numerous people missing their connection. We are walking The Baztan and currently in Espelette.

    How empty is the Lisbon section?

    Interesting, we started walking September 13 and had loads of company between Lisbon and Santarem. What a difference a week or two can make.

    How empty is the Lisbon section?

    Have walked Lisbon to SDC twice in the last two years - love Portugal. Last year we found it much busier than 2017 and it got busier as we walked. Having said that, the numbers are perfect in my opinion. You will not always find an Albergue between Lisbon and Porto but the Pensions and small...

    Best Salomon shoes for Camino Frances

    The no Gortex dry quickly, the Gortex version will get wet if it really pours and will take forever to dry.

    Best Salomon shoes for Camino Frances

    I wore the Speedcross my first Camino and had to replace them 500k into the walk when the mid sole collapsed. I’m not a heavy woman so not sure why this happened but replaced them with Merrill. Merrill Moab got me through two Portuguese Caminos and have purchased them for my next Camino...

    Achilles Novice (with a KM concern) and Coastal Section Advice

    Just finished the Portuguese Camino, Lisbon to Finisterre. We walked the coast from Matosinhos to Caminha then back on to the Central. Enjoyed all three legs you mention. We stayed in Valenca thinking it would be much quieter than Tui, the starting point for the 100k walkers. We loved the...

    LIVE from the Camino Sleep sack dilema

    Walked last September with a cheap light sleeping bag, a light liner would have been fine. We found most albergues very warm.

    Lined or unlined jogging pants

    Lined pants would probably be too heavy to dry quickly. I took a light merino wool base layer in case of cold however never used them. Walked in September 2015.

    Which part/s would you skip if you only had 26 days and would walk the average amt per day

    Each part of the Camino is beautiful for many different reasons. Personally I wouldn't skip the trek over the Pyrenees because of both the beauty and the challenge. If I had to make the tough decision I think it would be the Meseta -- probably the mentally toughest part of the walk for me...

    Camino in September 2016

    Walked this past September and found it very warm at times. 37 degrees walking into Pamplona. Great way to celebrate your 70th! We celebrated our retirement and 40th anniversary. Astorga is a great place to meet. Your husband will have lots to do if he arrives ahead of you. Enjoy!
