    Leaving dog home question

    I walked the Camino in 2017 and came across several people walking with dogs and they said it limited the places they could stay. I'm not sure what type of accommodation they were staying in but maybe it's worth making enquiries. I would love to bring a dog on the Camino but the quarantine...

    “Cheating”

    I did the Frances in 2017 and copped the 'cheating' thing from the puritans for getting my backpack transferred and for taking a bus on a couple of days. It took all my restraint to bite my tongue when the same people caught buses a couple of weeks later. My response to them all is....my...

    Frances or Portugués?

    I just finished the Portuguese in October (from Porto only). While I enjoyed it, I would say Frances.

    Blisters caused by toe socks??

    I love my Injinji toe socks and hiked with them in Nepal without any issues albeit I wasn't doing the kinds of distances I was on the Camino. So when it came to walking the Camino I naturally turned to toes socks but found they were irritating me at the base between the toes. I was lucky that...

    The new and cleaned up Cathedral

    Thanks Ivar, it look fabulous. When I finished my Camino in November 2017, I had no idea it was being refurbished so was surprised and a little disappointed to walk into the square (in the rain) and see it covered in scaffold. Does that mean I'll have to do another Camino.....hmmm???

    Serious Doubts 3 Weeks Before Camino

    I did the Camino in Oct/Nov last year, I was 55 then, quite overweight and in a sedentary job. While I wasn't doing it in the middle of summer, it was still quite hot for the first few weeks and I was only doing about 20kms a day and I made it. It's just one foot in front of the other. You...

    Traveling alone.

    Do it. You'll be on the Camino and won't be on your own for too long. I do all my travelling solo and sure, sometimes I get lonely but I wouldn't travel any other way.
