    GPS Tracks - A Guide for this Dummy Please

    If I'm not mistaken, you are planning the Via de la Plata. Each application has a GPS (KML, KMZ) track in addition to other very useful information. I used "Buen Camino", "Camino de Santiago" (Eroski Consumer), "Via de la Plata" from Peregrino Online (you can try the free version and then if you...

    Best Camino Madrid app with gps offline map

    Hola! I have the Camino de Madrid on maps.me (it also works offline), I can't remember where I got the download (I will try to find) . Otherwise, I use maps.me just because it works offline, but it also has more details than google maps. There are CdM gps for wikiloc and I think it also works...

    Deodorant Preferences

    A crystal deodorant stick is fine, but a good shower does a good job. It is really important if you use deodorant and sleep in a albergue that it has no odor. Ten pleasant scents combined in the evenings in a shared bedroom can really ruin a night

    Is it OK to keep your pack on your top bunk with you?

    Yeah, I experienced that two weeks ago. And I survived 😂😂😂.... In fact, I like this system. When I want more freedom and comfort, I sleep in a room / hotel

    Is a laptop a good idea?

    I responded to the OP only just as a slightly different seeing, rather than opinion what is better and what is right. I like to create (fine art / visual), I had some solo and some group exhibitions - the other often say "artist". However, this is only part of me. A large part, but I am still...

    The 2017 “Should I take my ‘good/nice/big’ camera on the Camino” post

    This year for the first time I had (except smart phone) a camera (not a DSLR). For a good shot you have to take the time (settings). And I quickly found that this process was too complicated to me : take the camera, set the aperture, if necessary - mounted rack, focus, ..... and then put away...

    Importance of weight

    my math is a little different (despite the fact that I teach math) - if my muscles are accustomed to wear some weight (me) - numbers prefer not to mention - and then reduces weight before starting Camino - I wore a backpack easier, because I am accustomed to more :D and now really: I think 10kg...

    iPad Mini - Yes or No?

    This year I took the iPad Mini. One of the reasons is that the battery lasts considerably longer than a phone.

    DSLR-camera on the camino

    DSLR-camera on the camino

    sometimes you look through the lens makes it even more present, sometimes this is separate from the "here and now" and not see things that are not in the lens. For me there is no comparison between DSLR and compact camera. DSLR is definitely a class apart. I've decided that it does not take...
