    Having problems buying train ticket

    I'm staying at the St Christopher Inn Hostal right on Placa de Catalunya. They have pod beds that are semi private and good prices. Two nights, just enough to get over jet lag and see a bit of the city.

    Toughen your feet?

    I know the best way to prepare your feet is to walk in your hiking shoes and have them well broken in before your Camino. But I am wondering if there are other ways to toughen them up. Something to insure they're not "baby soft" and prone to blisters.
