    Plantar Fasciitis

    I had history of recurring PF that flared on the Primitivo 2 yrs ago. I had been using insoles for PF at the time. I taped my foot per youtube instructions. Bad idea as this ended up causing a Mortons neuroma and worse pain. I finished but not without pain. Since then I was told zero drop shoes...

    Alternate routes

    Thanks for your replies. We went the standard route and arrived without problem. Had asked because of my daughter's knee causing a lot of pain. But hey - No pain, No gain! Right?!

    Alternate routes

    Has anyone taken alternate routes to Armenteira? Google maps shows much shorter walking routes. Just curious if anyone had tried any of them. Thanks

    Tickets available: Rooftop tour & Glory Portico

    I hope this is allowed. I have 4 extra tickets to the Glory Portico (unguided) at 1045 on 11 June and 4 tickets to the rooftop tour at 2 p.m. on 11 June. I accidentally purchased twice and will sell them for my cost which is $10 per ticket or $80 total. I will arrive in Santiago the afternoon of...

    Wifi (Portuguese Coastal)

    I have Verizon and their international plan is $10/day or $100/month limited to your data plan. I used this traveling Dec 2022 without problems. Recognized whenever I entered a different country.

    Follow up to gear recommendations from Pilgrims

    I used gossamer gear murmur36 in 2021, Primitivo route and loved it. Since then they have come out with the Loris25. These packs are ultralight and can expand considerably. I'm taking the Loris on the Portuguese in June (9# without water total weight). If you decide to try this you do have to...

    Reserving beds—or not

    We will be a group of 4 females with ages from 15 to 63 starting June 1 from Valenca. We booked albergues to insure we could stay together. I booked when I walked the Primitivo during covid times. I am looking forward to a solo camino sometime in the future that is totally unplanned beginning...

    Transportation Lisbon - Fatima - Tui

    Transportation needed Lisbon airport to Fatima on June 2 and Fatima to Valenca or Tui on June 3. Any recommendations? I have checked the RomeToRio app but it says tickets are unavailable. Thanks in advance!

    Best ATM Debit Card

    Agree with other commenter liking this card. It does take some time to set up an online account and get money transferred to it. At least that was my experience. so get that on your priority list

    Cafe con Leche / Coffee on the Camino: Enquiring Coffee Lovers want to know!!

    I fell in love with café con leche from day one in Spain. Since returning to the States I have tried to replicate it. I've gotten close but never quite the same taste. And the fresh squeezed juice was great as well. Looking forward to my return in June for an original.

    Patches on my backpack?

    I sewed mine on but where there was overlapping fabric. My pack is a Gossamer Gear Mariposa. Over a pocket only so the main compartment shouldn't be affected

    Central route and paved surfaces

    Also interested in other's experience and how much road walking there is. I have been debating which route has more, Norte vs Central Portuguese. Also interested in the Spiritual variant.

    Avoiding asphalt

    I am beginning planning our pilgrimage for early June 2023 for 4 of us. We prefer a route with the least road walking and wondering which routes would be best between the Portuguese or the Norte. We will only be walking the last 160-180 km due to time constraints. I've walked the Primitivo...

    Less Crowded Routes to Santiago after Camino San Salvador

    I'm planning another camino for June 2023. I completed the Primitivo in 2021. This year I want to walk camino San Salvador. What would be the best route after this to get the 100k requirement to Santiago? Thinking transferring to Tui but it's a full day bus trip. I like less crowded routes. TIA

    Polarsteps

    Primitivo last year. I used Polarsteps and found it easy to journal in at night as well as downloading pictures. I spent a lot of time editing pictures when I got home for the book that you can order. The book price was good. The only thing I didn't like was there wasn't any way to adjust...

    Packing for the Walk

    Don't forget blister care. Needle and thread, leukotape were my choices. Agree with ditch the camera. I upgraded my phone and it took fantastic photos. You can put on airplane mode to save battery while walking. If your windbreaker is waterproof do you need a poncho or a rain cover for your...

    When considerations become plans ... and when things get complicated ;-)

    In the same boat so to speak. No plans for a booster and original vaccines outdated. Last year I made all my arrangements in one month so last minute may still be possible. Since Pfizer released their studies I personally don't feel vaccines have a good enough safety profile but everyone has...
