    Camino Unscathed

    I arrived in Santiago pretty much unscathed (except for a tiny patch of sunburn on my shoulder), and that's mostly because I only started at Sarria. Kudos to those who started much farther! Here are a couple of things that I did differently: + I wore boxing boots, unusual choice, but believe...

Considering that this is the busiest season, and I always got an albergue to stay, I would say there is no need to phone them before arriving. 4 out of 5 albergues I went to speak some...

    Finished a few days ago... am I the only one who

    Hi, Are you walking your camino alone? I will be waking the last 100 km only (shame on me) alone... I'm in my mid 30s, and this is my first camino. I'm nervous and I'd love a walking partner or a group! If you are interested let me know :) I will travel to Sarria from Madrid at around the...
