    Tell me what I need to know

    Start slow. Spend the first night in Orisson. Take it easy in the first week-ten days. If you get to Logroño without injury you should have no problem getting to Santiago.

    Restaurant Tips Camino Frances

    Two good restaurants in Santo Domingo de la Calzada - both on Calle Mayor near the cathedral: Los Caballeros, and just across the street, La Cancela. Much more upscale than your typical pilgrim eateries, but very good value.

    Avoiding the breakfast trap?

    One of the great things about the Camino is when you're exercising 6-7 hours a day you can eat most anything! Eggs are great protein and the fat gets burned off during the day.

    Bad Experience - Mail Boxes Etc

    Be careful using Mail Boxes Etc to forward luggage to Santiago. I used them because the Post Office was closed. I was scheduled to arrive in Santiago on a Sunday and asked if getting my bag delivered in Santiago over a weekend would be a problem. I was assured it would be OK. "Just call us...
