Walking Camino in November
Currently in Los Arcos. So far no problems finding accommodation at all. The weather's fine and I'm finding life on the Camino perfect: not crowded at all but plenty of company if you want it. Just great at this time of year.- Andrew Lowrey

Best hiking boots for CF October 2018
I'm currently walking in Lowa Renegades and finding them a huge improvement on my previous, cheaper brand. I'm also using a set of gel insoles and that is making a difference towards the end of a long hike. I couldn't imagine doing a camino wearing something without good ankle support; my right...- Andrew Lowrey

Walking Camino in November
Almost every albergue will have blankets available for you to use as well as your sleeping bag. I really would make sure that you ask whether the albergue has heating on the whole time though. Some cannot afford to keep it very warm. At this time of year, and in that particularly cold pocket of...- Andrew Lowrey

Walking Camino in November
Given my work (tourism-related) Nov-Feb is the only time of year I can walk. I'm starting my second CF mid-November and while I've no warm weather experience to compare it with, my first autumn Camino experience was undiluted pleasure, even the trek through the snow past the Cruz de Fierro. No...- Andrew Lowrey

Useful Spanish Words/Phrases
Just a point, while I completely agree that 'gracias' is extremely important, 'por favor' much less so, and this is something I find native English speakers (particularly English and Canadians) find a bit tricky to get their head around. I have lived here in southern Spain for 12 years and many...- Andrew Lowrey

Looking for a buddy
Hi Valéry, I'll be doing the CF starting in Roncesvalles on November 14th. Our paths may cross. If so, I hope we remember that we met here first! Re: your question, the comments above are all sound. I did my first stretch of the Camino in 2016 alone, but never lonely. I met wonderful people and...- Andrew Lowrey

Class of 2018
I've just bought my tickets to travel from home in Granada to Roncesvalles to start my second camino blast on November 14th. Having done Astorga to SdC two years ago, this time I'm going to take a slightly different approach to this camino adventure. Last time I was very organised and planned...- Andrew Lowrey

Blister product advice
Vaseline and thin cotton inner socks under my walking socks. At the end of the day, after shower, I'd use Rosemary-scented rubbing alcohol, which every Spanish farmacia sells. Worked a treat.- Andrew Lowrey

Easiest Route into Portomarin
My knees are a bit dodgy too, but I had no problems at all with the approach to Portomarin. It's nowhere near as hard on knees as the approach to Molinaseca a week's walking ago.- Andrew Lowrey
