    Accommodation prebooking

    I pre-booked a lot in advance, and a few days ahead for the rest. I had no doubt that there would always be accommodation available if I hadn't but my budget was so tight I didn't want to risk having to pay more than I could really afford. I cancelled and rebooked a couple of times. Also I'm a...

    Jeans on the camino

    Just make sure whatever pack you take fits properly, if it seems large but you can't feel it on your back, just don't fill it. I'm in Cheltenham, I think you're the first Gloucestershire person I've seen here

    A second camino - motivations?

    I walked the Frances from St Jean last spring, it gave me so much. My dad joined me from Sarria and he came alive again after losing my mum. We're walking from Porto together this spring because I want him to have a camino that's his and not joining mine, and I can't wait to go again. Having my...

    Pre payment cards

    I use Revolut for travel and now at home as well, you pre-load it and you can top up using an app. I liked being able to have multiple cards (spares frozen) with me so that if a card was swallowed by an ATM it wasn't the end of the world. There's no ATM fees and currency conversion is fee-free...

    Bed bugs and prep for the battle

    Thank you for the care that you take to protect pilgrims. @BDurr I think what's being suggested by C Clearly is that bed bug bites can take a few. days to appear so each day new bites could have been appearing following the initial night of exposure rather than you being freshly bitten each...

    Crisis of confidence

    Funnily enough, dad and I have literally just agreed a date for the Camino Portuguese next year. I guess it only takes a few weeks to forget how much it hurts and remember how good it makes you feel!

    Crisis of confidence

    Hello everyone! As predicted you were all right. I could do it and I did. I walked The Camino Frances from St Jean and then on to Muxia. The support here and along the way was incredible, including a hospitalero at Roncesvalles who held both my hands and told me to "go and find joy". I did not...
