    One Day Walk out of Santiago ?

    I stayed in Santiago for 5 days last November and walked about 20K every day. I found many beautiful trails using Wikiloc.

    Staying motivated between Caminos

    When I am not on one of the Camino trails, I do what I call iFIT Camino. I have a treadmill with a 22-inch monitor. I have an iFIT individual membership for around $15 per month. I can creat a Googlemap-based trail. I can program one of my favorite trails or a trail that I have not walked yet...

    Booking.com

    I use Booking.com to see the availabilities and price ranges, but always call the property directly (I find the number on Google). All of them gave me a reservation over the phone. Once, I arrive at the property, I ask to see the room before I pay them. This way, I don't get stuck in a room I...

    Lovely Spanish Hospitality

    I am home now. On a return flight aboard the Iberian Airlines, I was given a salt and pepper shaker shaped like "Las Meniñas". Delighted and excited, I immediately held the "salt Meniña" by her waist and tried to twist open it but nothing happened. Then I held her head and did the same...well...

    Payment on Booking .com

    What type of credit card you use makes a difference. If you have a credit card that does not charge you conversion fees (e.g., I have AA Advantage Platinum Select Master Card issued by Citibank that does not charge foreign currency conversion fees), then it's always better to pay with the local...

    Dull, boring, urban and sketchy (sketchy?)

    I have been walking the Camino del Norte using my iFIT. My treadmill came with iFIT and a 22-inch screen. Each morning, I program a route using Google Maps and walk for about 4 hours. I have visited many lovely towns and villages that are not listed on the typical Camino del Norte stages...

    On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 8.0

    Did you know that if someone sneezes in Spain you are supposed to say ¨salud¨; second time "amor", and the third time "dinero"? Here, I saw the sign that says it in different order but for all the right reasons, which I wholeheartedly agreed. Norte, 2022.

    Which is the flattest major Camino de Santiago route?

    You must be very excited, and I am very happy for you. Of the ones I´ve walked, Camino Porto (coastal route) and Camino Ingles were relatively flat. I like Ingles better than Porto, mainly because some parts of Porto felt like beach resorts. Camino Ingles can be a good trial route since it´s...
