    April/May 2017 Crowds and weather?

    Walked 13 April to 30 April 2016. Leon to Santiago. Arrived in Sarria on 25 April. We did notice more people including school groups, bikes, and day tours but never found it crowded except from Monte de Gonzo to the Cathedral where it was pretty crowded but we drew energy from the people. When...

    Bringing backpack on plane as a carry-on

    Air Canada might require you to check as the Aura is 26 inches high (long) and AC only allows 21.5 inches in length. While you might get the pack through security, you might be asked to gate check...Most airports in Canada will not allow the knife or poles through. Lots of good tips on...

    Last minute advice for first timers.

    If you ever feel a hotspot developing, stop (in a safe spot) deal with it and don't wait for the next Cafe. Those you are walking with may wait or may keep going but you will see them again. As was already said, stop at least once a day and preferably more often and air out your feet. I changed...

    Parts to bypass -time limited.

    For what it is worth, arrived in Santiago Saturday after walking 14 days from Leon. If I would have had more time, I would have walked to Fisterre. Though Santiago was amazing (we saw the Botafumeiro in action at Mass on Sunday), my brain and most of my body felt the need to continue to the...

    You Know You're Going On The Camino When...

    23 and a wakey for me. When you wonder if the people you are on a video conference with can tell that you are pilgrim on the bottom and business on top.... Buen Camino all.

    You Know You're Going On The Camino When...

    When you go anywhere (work, dinner, movies...) you now calculate the distance in how long you think it would take to walk it....
