    Ranking my top 10 foods from the Camino

    Swoon! Yer killin' me!

    Ranking my top 10 foods from the Camino

    I walked the Frances in 2018 and still pine for the pulpo and padron peppers. I ate them every time I could find them. I also really enjoyed a lentil soup and a wonderful grilled fish served as pilgrim meals (don't remember where.) The simple pleasures of good food and cheap wine are some of my...

    How many pairs of shoes did you go through?

    I began my Camino (June-July) in a pair of Keen Venice sandals that had already taken me to many places. As I walked into Arre my shoe started to flap and I realized the sole had partially detached. I don't speak Spanish and the host spoke limited English but he told me his wife was taking the...

    What is the nicest thing that anyone has said to you on the camino?

    "I'll take the top bunk and you can take this lower one" said to me by a sweet and much younger girl who must have seen how pitifully I had been hobbling.

    Charles Trepat - Recital in A Coruña, at the Teatro Colón - Spanish Music Selection No 14

    Thank you for posting this! The artist plays with such emotion and the guitar has a lovely sound. I'll listen all the way to the last note. How I would have loved to catch a performance such as this while I was walking!

    Did you frame your credential?

    When I learned that I could upload my own image to personalize my credit card, I used a picture of my credential. Now it will go everywhere with me, just like the original did!

    That's a good-looking jersey!

    Where is the steep and lengthen rocky (pebbles) descent?

    The descents out of both Alto del Perdon & the Cruz de Ferro nearly did me in. I watched wide-eyed with raised brows as cyclists whooshed past me leaving Alto del Perdon, bouncing out of sight down the trail. Couldn't have done it without poles. Or ibuprofen. Or vino blanco. Or swearing.

    Where have all the witches gone?

    I encountered this mural on the left side of the trail as I walked into Burguete.

    How about posting your favorite photo(s) of "unusual" doors on the Camino

    Love this thread! I always take pictures of interesting doors when traveling. I had to restrain myself here!

    Gregory Jade 28 Backpack - Women's 2019 Version

    I walked with an REI 38L pack. I didn't fill it up all the way & after a few days carrying it was almost second nature. I sure wish it had those nifty zip pockets on the belt, though!

    Albergues in SJPdP

    When I walked (June 2018) Beilari was full. I booked a bed at Hostel Gite Zuharpeta. It was nice, & a continental breakfast was available.

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    My daily routine was to arise by 6:30, walk to the next town, & stop at a bar/cafe for breakfast. I didn't eat a large meal; breakfast was mainly a rest stop with bathroom privileges & a chance to check email. I usually had some OJ, a cup of cafe con leche, & a chocolate croissant (those...

    A day trip to Finisterre and Muxia

    We went to the bus station in Santiago & purchased a round trip ticket to Finisterre. The bus (lovely double decker with wifi) took something like a couple of hours each way. It was plenty of time to walk the beach (I found tons of sea glass), visit the fishing museum, enjoy a lovely lunch...

    End of the day sandals

    I hope you will have reason to love your Oofos as much as I love mine. I began walking each day in my Merrells (purchased in Pamplona to replace the beloved Keen Venice which separated and started flapping) and would change into the Oofos as foot pain and terrain demanded. I suffered crippling...

    Hair

    Hi Judy- love your hair in the pic! I walked the CF last year & had to decide to accept my hair. I wear it very short & spiky, but by the end of the six-week walk, it was too long to spike & would simply flop over. Styling gel was one of the things I left at home. As others have said, I showered...

    Comfort bike

    Hi Chris- In August of 2016 I cycled the Danube from Passau to Vienna. I used Mercurio Bike Travel, & it was a wonderful experience. Comfy bikes, interesting itinerary with lots of local foods, lovely hotels each night, and the company owner was our tour guide. His name is Andre Volkel, & I...

    A Bit of a Crisis

    I'm so happy you found it. I like living in an orderly universe & when things go astray, it's very upsetting. I'd be having a big fat margarita at the airport to celebrate. Happy travels to you-
