    Is my daily average goal too ambitious?

If you want to exercise a sport route then you can go anywhere. The camino is about connection with yourself, your mind and soul and particularly...

    Skipping Pamplona?

    If you haven’t spent at least a day in Pamplona to explore the city then I highly recommend to do so. Lovely place. A must see. I enjoyed wondering around, watching ppl from a cafe and exploring the town. Breath in the vibe. Never rush or haste from one place/town/village to the next. Stop and...

    Favorite places to spend an extra day/night to visit historical/cultural sites?

    Definitely Pamplona, Burgos and Leon. I spent also 3 nits in Rabanal at the silence retreat in the Monasterio. It was an amazing experience

    Heel wedges/inserts f shoes

    Ah. Someone suggested to place them under the trail runner’s insole. Will only use them on long ascends, then remove. So, taping might work that well

    Fitness level

Have trained 12km/day about 2-4times per week. Intend to walk in avg 10km/day. It’s not about how far and...

If you arrive earlier than planned use the time to hang around and indulge n rest or see other parts of the area or Spain. Don’t be pressed to get somewhere, just be where you are. Buen...
