    Holed Up With a Nasty Cold

    I likewise had a broken ankle (in three places), and have pins, plate and screws put in an operation. This happened nearly three years ago and I am up to 13,000 steps a day, but still have some recurring neuropathy. I hope you are healing quickly and can make another Camino! I’m aiming for next...

    It's been done before... cutlery/bowl/cup?

    We use sporks for store bought lunches. Used them nearly on a daily basis through two Caminos. Three together weigh maybe an ounce.

    Steep passes on camino frances sjpd to logrono (fear of heights)

    In the forest on the Valcarlos route there were some narrow paths, but not steep. So maybe just walk the Napoleon way the first day.

    Scrubba

    We found it way too heavy and and time consuming.

    Searching for a camino buddy May 2024!

    You might want to join Camigas on Facebook. It is a very active female Camino group and they have a lot of live chats going on. It could help you with questions, possible other peregrinas, etc..

    Feedback on packing list please

    I don’t want to be the dissenter, but I just wanted to say on both my past Caminos with my two daughters we used our sporks nearly every day because we would get lunch from a grocery after arriving at the albergue, and the sporks were multi-use and weighed nearly nothing. It saved us money! We...

    Seeking advice on Camino choice

    I’d recommend the Portuguese Coastal. I did it in June, 2019. The weather was nearly perfect. (Rain on 2 days of 13). I had done the French way the year before and kind of preferred the Portuguese. I’m planning on going back in 2024, but my daughters and I don’t know which route to choose yet.

    Help with shoes!

    Salomon’s were super for my second Camino. I went up an entire size than my usual, and added Dr Scholl’s gel pads for even more support. They lasted well beyond an entire Portuguese Coastal!

    What to do with three weeks after Santiago?

    Porto/Matosinhos to SdeC takes about 12 days on the coastal route and is affordable and magnificent.

    What surprised you the most?

    I was surprised at how bad I truly was at estimating distances. Everything else stated by others is true and pretty wonderful even when experiencing discomfort, pain, thirst, hunger, and exhaustion. Planning on returning for my third next year and just training more to be better prepared.

    My daughters and I all agree!

    HOKA warning

    I’ve always had luck with Salomon’s.

    Portugese Camino Central or Coastal from Porto to Santiago?

    I would suggest the coastal route since that is the one I walked. The weather was (in June, 2019) exquisite except for the first day when it rained for an hour or two. Walking on boardwalks and slight inland paths at times was easy on the knees, ankles, and hips.

    Memorable Meals

    Most memorable was definitely a communal meal at an albergue in the meseta with the hugest paella pan I’ve ever seen! The paella was also excellent as was the company!

    Women out there - Deuter backpack

    Yes I used a Deuter 36 for two caminos (French and Portuguese coastal) and loved it!

    Best / Recommended Pizza places on the camino?

    If you are Ever on the Portuguese route, we had fantastic pizza at Antonio Mezzero in Matosinhos. It’s pricey, but worth it!
