    Language for camino portuguese?

    Portugese people don't like tourists speaking español, better english or french. A lot of them worked in France or Luxembourg and are very proud talking French (English).

    Feedback wanted on the Levante

    Hey Peregrina2000, those 3 first asphalt days weren't so bad. No traffic at all, very quiet and surrounded by naranjas (oranges). But when you are leaving the asphalt, you have to take the red sticking mud with you. So every advantage has a disadvantage or reverse.

    Do I need spikes for icy terrain when walking from Burgos to Leon next month?

    Hola, the real thing that matters when stepping in the meseta is the sole of your boots. The walking paths are covered with millions of stones in all measures and sharpness. They continue putting preasure on your feet, so you must protect them very well. Solid and sturdy footwear is not an...
