    Ex Officio vs Smartwool underwear?

    I wear Ex Officio for daily wear at home. Over the years foot marching in the military I learned the hard way when I sweat a lot, I chaff. Sweating as much as we sweat on the Camino dictates merino for me. I brought two pair of merino underwear (one for today, one for tomorrow, wash each...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Are albergues asking for the vaccine passport/vaccination card?

    First week / last week on the Camino

    1st week: meticulously checking the weather every night Last week: weather doesn’t matter. After rain, cold, sun, sleet, snow, rain, sun, cold, and rain, I have the right kit.

    Getting to SJPP

    We arrived in Paris at 0700, dropped out backpacks at the hotel and spent the day walking around taking pictures and evaluating the quality of Parisian wine, charcuterie, and crepes. After an only slightly jet lagged night of sleep (thank you Tylenol PM) and a relaxed morning we are on the train...

    Getting to SJPP

    We fly on Monday and was scratching my head on how to do the planes, trains, and auto buses from Paris-timing was tight, will our flight be delayed, how long will it really take to get the covid passport, train connections... I had the brilliant idea to consult the minds on the forum. Y'all...

    Digital Copy of Millán Bravo Lozano's "The Pilgrims' Road to Santiago"?

    I have a hardcopy from 1999 that I'm enjoying reading through while planning. I don't want to carry it but I'm pretty high on the nerd scale (my first career was as a planner) and I'm considering scanning the parts that relate to the Camino Francés-- roughly 180 pages. Just curious if someone...

    Camino Frances in March 2022.. Advice ??

    Hello all, Follow up question regarding calling the albergues: how frequently will they speak english? I'm mono-lingual but spinning up on my camino Spanish. I have little faith in my ability to reserve a bed in Spanish, my first week on the way. I'm departing SJPdP on March 3rd and will...
