    Can I have my backpack transported to municipal albergues?

    Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference between a backpack and rucksack? I thought they were used interchangeably here.

    The Best Clothing ? And the winner is....

    I have to agree. I have several of the name brand items mentioned here. Ice breaker, Patagonia, Smartwool, etc. because I liked them for the fit and comfort for certain items. I, fortunately, am able to fork out the money and considered myself blessed. But I also have some very inexpensive...

    Leaving tomorrow - one last question- is it worth to bring a small daypack?

    Women: Advice on trail runners/shoes

    Women: Advice on trail runners/shoes

    I went with Oboz for my very first Camino and only had about 2 weeks (at most) to break them in. They were amazing and I did not get one blister or have any problems whatsoever. I was amazed as my travelling buddy had the worst time with her Keen shoes. Her blisters got blisters. Not saying...

    Rucksack size

    Yes, you will definitely want to get measured. I ordered my first pack off the internet. I always buy things a bit larger because I don't like things tight on me. I went to REI to have it sized and found it was waaayyy too large as I have a small frame with long legs and a shorter torso.

    Rucksack size

    I used a 30L and it was quite enough for all the necessities. Of course it will depend on what you plan on taking and how well you pack. I was able to get quite a bit of stuff in mine and actually got rid of some stuff that I found I really didn't need once I got on my way. Buen Camino!
