    Spain total solar eclipse, August 12, 2026: Are camino towns preparIng?

    Figure out the angle of viewing; since it is near sunset it is probably to the southwest. The sun will be low in the sky so seek a spot with no hills, buildings or trees in the way. Maybe hike up a mountain.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    Also, if you are suspicious and the URL looks good do not click the link. Type in the URL into a browser, don't do a copy and paste. Some letters that look like they are in the Latin alphabet may be similar looking letters in another alphabet and you could end up at a faked website.

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    Head lamps are good for the outdoors. Inside, if you do need light, hold it in your hand.

    How to get QR Code onto Wikiloc App

    Afraid of top bed without fence

    I was amused this morning with this juxtaposition: It might be a very short walk but the ladders nearly were my end twice.

    Eclipses over Santiago

    Here's a copy of a post I made a little while ago on another thread. We're still in Texas after seeing the total eclipse. We've been doing a lot of driving for this (but also visiting relatives). Worth it. Anyway, here's Spain 2026 eclipse information (the info is on a webpage about a tour but...

    Bar Etiquette

    I've likely taken empty glasses back to the counter, I can't remember. A comprise between that and leaving them on your table would be to collect yours and maybe others and leave them on a table that already has to be cleared.

    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    We can't remember having any pre-camino worries. I think for several reasons: We were older and so had had time to have learned how to handle things (at least some things). We had backpacked in wilderness areas so walking/hiking wasn't an issue and if you are comfortable handling things there...

    The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino

    Maybe have a neighbor start your car once a week. Thinking of once a week, have someone water your indoor plants. Shut off the water to your washing machine; you don't want a broken hose to pour water for a few weeks.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Thursday morning was foggy on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. Friday morning it was clear in North Carolina. In North America's large countries local covers a big area.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    BTW, there is an easier pair of antipode coordinates in Spain and New Zealand to go to than the Mt. Eden and Ronda pair. Many of you have already been to the Spain point. Details at this post in another thread...
