    Camino banner map - where to buy?

    If it all works, that’s great. If not it seems to be available on Etsy Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/626806874/poster-map-of-the-camino-de-santiago?ref=share_v4_lx

    Where to stay from Tui to Pontevedra

    Dries at Casa Alternativa is a really nice guy. I hope his dog Otto is still there.

    Pamplona to Burgos in late September 2024 - albuerges and weather?

    I’d advise checking the weather forecast right up to the day of departure. I typically walk from mid September through to early April. September can often be lovely and warm and dry - or totally the opposite.

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    “ It's not about you.” We should get that printed on the stationery.

    Parking at SJPP

    Consider Biarritz airport long stay parking.

    Small juicer, vegetarians and heating element?

    The Spanish eat loads of salad and veggies - visit any mercado and prepare to be overwhelmed. They often don’t feature on a menu Peregrino ‘mystery meat and fries’ though.

    Trip report

    So are you staying in Spain for the time being? Best wishes.

    Where to stay from Tui to Pontevedra

    The mariscos in Arcade are worth stopping for. Probably not worth it on a Sunday (much closed) or Monday (never buy fish on Mondays) though.

    Metro-style map of the Caminos

    My copy arrived today. It’s very nice - printed on high quality gloss photograph- paper.

    Trainline and registering!

    You can purchase directly at the station - but ‘walk up’ prices are often higher and the trains do get fully booked at times.

    Spanish words for sleeping mask and heating coil?

    ‘Travel immersion heater’ seems closer to the target than ‘electrical water heater’. I suspect you’ll be lucky to find one - but hope you do.

    Best app to accurately record distances, elevation and descent per day

    Out of a genuine sense of curiosity, may I ask why? I may be missing out on something, but I’m not sure what it could be. ‘Mind your own business!’ would be a perfectly reasonable reply, of course.

    want solitude

    I don’t particularly like my own family, so I’m most certainly not soliciting a ‘Camino family’ when I’m walking. I do like meeting others, and nowhere else have I spent time with so many nationalities and age-ranges where I have something in common - but basically on my own terms. The option...

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    Well, I’m surprised - but happy to be corrected!

    Language questions

    Un bastón o unos bastones y (generally) una actriz o unas actrices. wrt the latter, policial correctness exists at different levels in different countries although the RAE does allow ‘Actor’ to be either masculine or feminine.

    Backpack is 2 kg too heavy TwT

    Whatever you’re comfortable carrying? But how many know what that is? Participants on here range from lightweight fanatic racing-snakes through to those who are entirely unaccustomed to even one day’s long walk with a sack and the 10% ‘rule’ is obviously complete rubbish. I’m not a betting...

    Rain Pants?

    In May; I’d stick to shorts. They’re my preferred walking attire in any case as skin dries faster than cloth. November through to March I pack waterproof over-trousers, which I hate with a passion and would only put on in torrential rain. At home, where I walk frequently in the Cumbrian...
