    US International Phone plan or Spanish SIM card while on the Camino?

    WOW! Never had any of those and I've been to France, Camino Frances w\Finisterre & Madrid extension, Canada, Italy & Barcelona to name few places. Use my data a lot esp when it comes to my FindPenguins never ogt any of these messages. (Kinda hope that it is not something 'new' because, yes, that...

    My new backpack from Gregory

    IMHO it is too big by overall dimensions (my wife's Jade 28 is a tad large as well but I feel we'll be able to get it through) That Said I was checking mine in anyways because of the poles.

    Packing List: Welcome All Comments!

    When I walked in 2022 a lot of albergues were giving away free (of course small donation was always welcome) bags that one could scrounge up into a very small ball (if you will) and hardly took a space at all I got me a couple and just stuffed them into the backpack belt's side pockets. Hope...

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Any small retail store will have them. Lots of members referred to chino shops. The store owners do understand "travel adaptor". I got one in Puente la Reina when mine got accidentally wet and all USB ports shortened out (the only thing i was able to use after it dried out was the actual plug -...

    My Buen Camino app is crashing!!

    Interesting. Since I am not on the Camino the flag is off and as I stated above it still crashed (as per @trecile note on accessing stage planner)

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    @J Willhaus WOW - you're talking with yourself :oops::rolleyes:

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    You're gonna 'over-stress' yourself with all the stuff you are stressing about! Any reasonably modern adaptor now-a-days has a built in voltage converters. I brought one from US and just happen to hit a European charger on sale at some mall on the outskirts of Burgos (it had 2 USB ports) so I...

    May-June Camino Frances - Rain Gear & Eating ware

    and true to that, absolutely. I guess I didn't think too much of a size. I don't rightly recall what the size of the one (or couple) i wound up buying; I will agree that a 'portable size' it was not but at the same it was not a 'family size' either. It fitted very nicely into a side pocket of my...

    May-June Camino Frances - Rain Gear & Eating ware

    1. Good thing to remember - the people behind the counter are very friendly and helpful in that aspect, esp. if you just finished a meal (however small that may be). I had no problem filling my 3L camel bladder and couple of times the gents said "I'll do you one better" and filled it with ice...

    May-June Camino Frances - Rain Gear & Eating ware

    Re water purification: you are in SPAIN gor crying out loud. People drink tap water from the street spigot and fountains. Brown and foul? Really? Honestly I'd be more afraid to drink it in NYC... Same with expensive shampoo and toothpaste. Any supermercado will have similar if not the same...

    May-June Camino Frances - Rain Gear & Eating ware

    What kind of soap\shampoo do you use? ;) I mean a post without nonsense.... come ON! what is the world coming to? On a serious note as to OP's questions - many diferent opinions. I can add from my experience and not sure if it will help or confuse more. No waterproofing your shoes and no...

    Sleeping bag and lock

    I started in May just about the same time you will. I used Sea To Summit Comfort Blend Sleeping Bag Liner. Was enough for me to suit my needs. Did not use lock as I am in the "If you lock it - it attracts unwanted attention" camp. Yes anything even remotely of importance has to be on you 24/7...
