    Concerned

    It probably would be a good idea to prebook 5 days in advance, when you get comfortable with your daily walking rate, given it is a Holy year, and somewhat of a post-covid year., It gives you a destination to work for, rather than depending on providence.I have a friend on the Camino...

    Took the Plunge and Booked for July 2021!!

    Spain is scheduled to drop the mandatory 2 week covid-19 quarantine on 1 July. So, if it is not extended, you should not have to quarantine if arriving on 1 July. Hopefully, Spanish provincial closures will be over in July.

    Walking the CF for the Second Time?

    Took four summers for me to finish the CF, as I only had 2 weeks at a time. Will probably be going back in 2021, to walk the entire CF at one time.

    Camino Frances in August

    A good solution is to start walking about 5:00AM, it won't get hot until 11:00AM or later. Prepare a breakfast the night before, or wait until the next village for coffee.

    Meseta Burgos to Leon 6th July 2018

    Good luck with your Burgos to Leon segment. We walked Santo Domingo to Leon in June 2017. Most days, it was HOT and sunny. Bring a sun umbrella, and carry plenty of water. Start early, maybe 6:00AM or earlier, and avoid walking 11AM - 2PM if it is sunny and hot. Buen Camino

    Prescription drugs on the camino

    This year, while on the Camino, I forgot to bring enough of one prescription. Brought the near empty bottle into a Pharmacia in Burgos, and was given a refill straight away. I only needed 15 pills to last until I got home, but this medication was only sold in a box of 56. Also, this...
