    Hi Rachel... Time is limited so we are starting in Burgos and not allowing more than a day or two for down days/injury days etc. We were thinking of doing the Portugese from Porto & then bussing to Lugo, walking back and cashing in on 2 compostelas in 25 days but it seemed a bit...

    Walking my second Camino frances

    I just finished my second Camino Frances two days ago ( I am still in Santiago), having done my first in September - October 2015. Your Camino will in no way be the same if you walk the CF again. Different companions, different you.... my only advice is do what you are called to do...

    Outlets for charging

    I carry a cpap and have never gone without being able to plug in. Although last night they did have to relocate me to a seperate bldg with its own loo & shower in a medieval church ( the Camino sometimes provides upgrades) .. get a cheap adapter or two ( I duct tape one to the end of an...

    Can't Stop Worrying! Solo Female!

    You will be fine, just take ordinary precautions. Most young women I met who were your age generally found a pretty tight group to walk with fairly early on. If you are looking for some solitude on your walk, that's available as well . I am starting out of SJPdP on April 19, maybe I will see...

    Eating vegan diet on the Camino

    I walked as a vegan in 2015 . Very difficult . In the larger towns I could find tofu & peanut butter and carry them in your pack . You can find fruit and veggies everywhere . It's impossible to trust anything off a restaurant menu. Fish and pork are considered vegetables .

    Your preference: Billed cap or full-brimmed hat?

    I walked in September/October and brought a Tilley and a Ballcap. I found the Tilley to be more cumbersome in the wind and the rain with a hooded poncho. Also, the Tilley was enough more valuable that I was worried about losing it ( which I did) . Much simpler to wear a ballcap. That is all I am...

    What really is the pilgrim experience?

    We all start our Camino from a different place , walk our own way, and walk away somehow better in different ways. More expensive equipment may be a factor for some and not for others . Neither makes one for a better experience, only different.

    Use of CPap

    I carried my cpap on the CF In 2015. No issues at all, I did tell them about it immediately upon arrival , and found that calling it a breathing machine was a lot easier than calling it a cpap. . Usually they just said no problem , outlets are everywhere. Once or twice they put me in a private...
