    Bed bugs in El Acebo!

    I am so sorry, the same happened to me in the same hotel. The farmacia has some sort of corticosteroid foam that really helps.

    Bed bugs

    For non-permethrin uses, I carry a few of these light traps, with a separate strong pheromone fluid to lure the bedbugs (they normally hide until 3 am and the deepest of your sleep) and put them under my bed on arrival. Before going to bed and each morning I check them and fold the trap back in...

    Top Tips starting from St JeanPied de Port

    Wow, so good to see your video, tears in my eyes to see how it was and how it will be. So lucky I have still 500 km to go to SDC from Burgos on my second Camino:-)

    Let's see your best "framed" photos

    The second is the way up to Lorca, I was at the end of my Latin, as they say in Dutch and lost the dear Italian couple on the way up into Lorca and the albergue.

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2021?

    Update on Dave Bugg

    July 2 2020, just after the Covid lockdown was lifted, I came back to the CF to finish my Camino. I only had the guts because Dave Bugg gave me confidence with his wonderful analysis of superligth tent-possibilities. With just 550 grams extra in my backpack, as a back-up should albergues be...

    Lightweight camping gear

    For the superlight option of 218 gr. /7,7 oz (my knees are not the strongest) I had this in mind, used with my poles and then attach light tent mesh cover (velcro fasteners) on the two open sides...

    Survey from Grañón

    I indeed had a memorable nigth last November 2019. I was able to donate directly to the Church and albergue via the following Spanish Church donation site: https://www.donoamiiglesia.es/san/Home#!/ I believe you do need a Europan IBAN and BIC banknumber. Furthermore the Dutch postal code did...
