    How do you count your caminos?

    Wise Pilgrim app

    I walked the CP this summer and we used the wise pilgrim to make sure we were on trail from time to time we also used it from time to time to look for accommodation. Perhaps it was on a setting or something we did wrong but it never seemed to show Albergues just hostels or better represented by...

    Best options for paying and getting cash in Spain as a US citizen

    Which 100 km Route?

    The last 100 Km of the Primativo from Lugo is a nice walk, you would be back on the frances from Melide on but the part from Lugo to Melide is quite nice. Lugo it's self as you walk into it does not seem too promising but once into the older part of town it's very picturesque with a...

    That silly 10% rule

    Your toiletries are somewhere you can save big, Dr Bronners soap comes in a dry form a bar if you will, or there is Lush dry shampoo bars, both of them will take care of body, hair and clothes, and you're not carrying around liquid weight that you can't drink. Another small weight savings...
