Hi
I have some questions about the route between Almeria and Granada…
1. What is the terrain like?
2. What is the trail like underfoot? Is it mostly off-road on trails, or are there long road sections?
3. How easy would it be to navigate in reverse - i.e granada to almeria? I would have the GPS...
Hi
Anyone know where I could get hold of a credencial in Irún (or nearby) during these a Covid times? I’ve heard the municipal albergue is shut, but maybe that’s not the case.
Thanks 😊
Hi
I’ve heard all albergues on the Norte are closed. Anyone know where I can buy a credencial? (Was hoping to pop into the albergue in Irún).
Thank you 😊

VdlP is also insanely busy - real struggle finding accommodation.
Apologies for another kit question. Last camino I managed with an old 25l north face rucksack but I think I need a little more space this time (partly because the weather will be a bit cooler).
Fast approaching 2nd camino. I was perusing the rucksacks in an outdoor shop yesterday to see what...
Fast approaching my next camino and struggling to find shoes that fit. My trusty Keens give me very hot feet so looking for something lighter and more breathable.
I have wide feet. Currently looking at Hokas as they come in wide fit too.
Questions:
1. Challenger vs speedgoat (vs bondi/...
