    25 km per day?

    I have had shin splints a couple of times on camino and they have gone away after about three days. But I’m not a doctor and my experience might not match yours. Good luck!

    It’s a fantastic place to unwind/reflect after your camino, especially if you are unsure how to process it all once it’s suddenly over. @natefaith from Pilgrim House is a member here. https://www.pilgrimhousesantiago.com/

    You will be okay. In fact, the camino might be just what you need right now. You will definitely meet people if that’s what you want. Your booking/packing/distance plans seem fine to me. Many (most?) people bring only one set of walking clothes and one set of town clothes, which are typically...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    It’s still sinking in that this is a local walk! This morning on the Via Appia Antica in Rome:

    25 km per day?

    As others have said, the average length of your daily walk is up to you (along with several other variables, eg availability of accommodation). But around 25km is a sweet spot for many pilgrims, including me. Beyond simply the physical aspect (i.e. to walk a decent distance but not overly exert...

    Ordering beer in Spain

    According to Chat GPT: In Spain, when ordering beer, you'll often come across three common terms: "copa," "caña," and "jarra." Each term refers to a different serving size of beer, and they vary in quantity and sometimes even in the type of glass used. Here's a breakdown of each: Copa: Copa...

    Over Planning Again

    I’m not a big fan of the last 100km of most caminos. The Portuguese from Tui + Variante Espiritual is the exception to this, so that would be my firm recommendation. Also lots of accommodation options and cafés etc to stop at to make it easier for Pat (although not so much on the VE). As for...

    Food to bring to Spanish friend from US

    FWIW, maple syrup is pretty easy to find in Lisbon and Rome so presumably it is in Madrid too. Edit: Rome even has special maple syrup just for me! ;)
