    Recommendations for Accomodations in Porto

    So great to be back on the forum! I’m doing my second Camino (Porto-Santiago-Finisterre-Santiago), leaving April 30. I’ll be arriving in Porto April 25 because I’ve heard it’s beautiful and I’d like to explore a bit. Looking for reasonable accommodation close to the trail for myself for five...

    Engagement/Wedding Bands

    My partner and I celebrated the completion of our first Camino on June 20 by getting engaged in front of the Cathedral. We are both in our fifties, long past wanting anything to do with diamonds, and are thinking of plain gold bands. What we would like, however, is to incorporate the Camino...

    Meeting Up on the Camino

    My partner and I are doing our first Camino in May/June 2016. We are both female, mid-fifties, leaving from Ottawa, Canada. I'm retired and have all the time in the world but my partner was only able to get 5 weeks off work which will probably translate to 3-4 weeks on the actual trail. Our plan...

    Jumper's Knee Straps vs. KT Tape

    I am planning my first Camino in May/June 2016. Many, MANY thanks to all those who share their experiences and recommendations here. I have learned so much. My question: what do people prefer, Jumper's Knee Straps or KT Tape? And if Jumper's Knee Straps, Mueller or McDavid? I am female, 5'5"...
