    Shoes for Camino

    So far I have noticed that the right insoles and socks are key, more so than the shoes. I have chosen for a mid-high boot with a flexable vribram sole to get the best of both worlds. Plus for me, regular hiking in wet places, means that being waterproof is a requirement too. And higher boots...

    where to pamper myself at end of camino

    I am not sure about spa's, but between Muros and Carnota there are some really nice beaches, especially the small stretch at San Franscisco. Though I liked this place because it was less touristy and less developed, there were some bigger hotels near San Fransciso. Maybe you can find something...

    What to do at The End

    Islas Cies is the most beautiful place in Galicia in my mind. Through Porto is really great too, nice weather, cheap bear, friendly people.

    To camera or not to camera

    My question would be: to DSLR or not to DSLR. For me, a camera is a must. And buying a cheap pocket camera just for the camino just feels like a waste of money now I finally own my own D90. I know it is heavy, but if would buy an extra smaller camera, I would buy one that I would probably almost...

    New Camino documentary

    I only watched bits and pieces because I do not want to see to much in advance. But it's a great job!

    Somewhat disillusioned....

    That is interesting Rebecca. In my experience a lot of older (40+) people litter. Some actually drop litter and then blame the young people. It is the same in public transport. Some older people assume they are entitled to skip waiting lines because they have a few extra years under there belt...

    Toilets on the Camino Frances

    I agree, though I haven't actually done my camino yet, that the prospect of a toilet building or a tourist rest stop every 5km doesn't immediately appeal to me. Not that human poo next to the road is appealing too.

    The Best Song To represent The Camino

    I love this song. I have got The Way to thank for that.

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    As a general rule, usually roads get cleaner as you travel northwards in Europe. Though I though Spain was pretty clean compared to for example Italy. And Dutch people go further downhill each year. Germany might be the cleanliest on the mainland. And France looses points because of its public...

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    I will definitely bring plastic bags with me and help out, but I won't pick up anyone's shit. I mean the literal shit. :wink:

    An unholy year on the Camino Frances

    What I remember from Spain is that there usually is very little roadside litter. Asturias is very clean (but might be an exception has it has the strictest environmental laws), the semi-dessert of Bardenas Reales, the fields around Segovia and the woods of El Escorial as well. This news simply...
