    I started our first Camino in hiking boots I had just used for an 8 day hike in Namibia, the Nakluft, and straight after the 5 day Fish River Canyon hike. My feet were shot by the time I reached Pamplona. I finished the Francais, in what can best be described as Jesus sandels. The next 3...

    Looking for the Cheapest budget, tips

    Being from South Africa with a very poor exchange rate we budget on 30€ per day. We stay at Municipal Albergues, and shop at Supermarkets. I carry a Billy and cook our food.

    I definitely recommend a stay at Orisson, if only for the experience. After a leasurly walk we were in Roncesvalles before opening time. It was a great start to our Camino last year. (Only stopped for coffee in 2017)
