    Last CF I did (mid March-April) there were days I needed my small lightweight Woods Sleeping bag but am hoping to do another (CF or Le Puy) this coming Spring and I am considering bringing a sleeping bag liner and a lightweight small polar fleece blanket.

    Shorter Stages on the Portuguese

    For my second Camino I would like to do the Portuguese but in about 15km stages. I know I am capable of doing the longer stages but I want to do this one slower and explore the area more. Is this doable or would I have to continually backtrack by cab or bus?

    Graffiti Search on the CF (Potentially either side of Belorado)

    Has anyone taken a picture of the Graffiti " You are capable of more than you think and you need less than you think" this really resonated with my husband as we were walking but unfortunately he didn't let me know so I couldn't take a photo of it. I am making a photo book for him for Christmas...

    Looking for recent information

    I have been asked by a Roman Catholic friend of mine to pick up a Rosary and perhaps a necklace and bracelet with a cross on it. Reading old posts it seems like there are only touristy ones around Santiago. Without going overboard on price are there decent ones there? Or would it be better to...

    Basque Geneology

    This may be an off topic subject and if so I sincerely apologize. I have just found out that my Husbands Grandfather is actually Basque (We thought he was from Calais) does anyone know of a site where you can check family names or history in that area? This would add an added heartstring to our...

    Boots or shoes in March

    I am leaving SJPdP in mid March 2018 via Valcarlos and as much as I am breaking in a pair of ankle height hiking boots I normally wear runners. I am mainly concerned of getting wet feet due to snow on the trails and roads, has any one walked at that time of year and what did you wear I am asking...

    I have a small Tens Machine (Dr. Ho) and I am wondering if anyone has brought one with them on their Camino journey and if they have found it worthwhile to have.

    As a 55 year old woman I am planning to do my first Camino this coming March. At this point I can easily walk 10 km every day (on holidays I generally walk 15 -22+ km per day).
