    footwear

    It rained intensely from Ferrol to Santiago. For that reason, I kept a pair of dry shoes and socks in my pack for when the first pair became water-logged. This year I will have waterproof footwear and I also purchased gators.

    footwear

    I realize that footwear is a personal preference, and everyone is so different. I'm just struggling with a decision, and was hoping someone might offer an insight I hadn't considered. My most important gear is my footwear. I did Camino Ingles and Finsterra last June and wore Oboz hiking...

    hiking poles--which kind

    2nd pair of shoes

    Hello! I'm going to be hiking the Camino Ingles in a few weeks. Does anyone ever carry a 2nd pair of shoes? I thought it might give one pair a chance to dry out. Also, if the pair on one's feet start to cause problems while hiking from one point to the next, it might be useful to have a back...

    voltage adaptor for phone charger

    Hello! I have never been to Spain before, and I'm wondering if I need a voltage adaptor to charge my phone. I know I needed to purchase one for my trip to Germany, but that was long ago.
