    Walking the Camino de Santiago and Planning for the Laugavegur Trail: What to Expect Physically

    I think this is the best advice in this whole thread ;) I will only add that you can always lighten the load, if need be, by sending your pack ahead. I started my Frances on April 22 2016 and the way was absolutely beautiful, especially the Meseta. ¡Buen camino!

    A Spanish Conversational Thread

    Deepl is not very good with refranes. You might find a similar expression on other sites (but I don’t have my list of sites available at the moment. I will look for it).

    What not to take? And what to not forget?

    When I did the Primitivo (late May, 2018), it rained about every other day. It was cloudy almost all the time. It was chilly or cold except for a few late afternoons. It’s not fun to walk in wet clothes so prepare for that. Also, when it rains, your clothes will NOT dry. It’s just too humid. I...

    Finding Orange at the Madrid Airport

    Just a thought, did you confirm the hours on the Saturday for that Orange shop? Sometimes they close at the siesta and do not re-open on Saturday and some are closed on Sunday as well. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Buen camino :)

    Seriously, aren't the women ALWAYS queueing for los aseos?

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    haha, I swiped a few from the one cafe where I saw them and was certain I would find more but, alas, none to be had. Next time I will be better prepared. My diet is bland enough and almost intolerable without my mustard. :)

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    hmm, I am allergic to dairy and eggs so obviously didn't experiment with the most common protein breakfasts available in Spain. I did partake of the jamon and pastries and oj. My main protein source was trail mix I prepared with nuts, dried fruit, etc. I had to prepare it 3-4 times on my 7...

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    I'm so tempted to carry some mustard with me next time...it drove me crazy not to be able to have it on my bocadillas!

    Hello My Wonderful Camino Family

    Bienvenido Davebugg, I'm so sorry to hear about the medical problems and am glad things are improving. Although it's been said, many times, many ways...take it easy, friend. The Colorado Rockies await and the Camino is always here. You, otoh, are irreplaceable. Be well.

    Are most questions on here facetious??

    It's so hard, isn't it? But I love knowing about the ignore option which I would never have known about had I not at least scanned this thread. So...there's that.

    Confessions of a Fat Pilgrim

    Great advice. Just throwing this out there to those of you who intend to lose weight. One alcoholic beverage a day for a year will increase your weight about 10 pounds if you do not do any extra exercise to burn off those dead calories. Just sayin'. Do whatever you like with that information.

    To be lost on the Camino

    So true. Turning back feels just wrong on the camino (or elsewhere) but it almost never is the wrong thing to do. Was saved by an angel farmer of the male variety after walking an extra 6 km on a 35km day on the Primitivo. I will not forget that day and turning back now sounds very appealing...
