    Sleeping bag - yes or no?

    So this is quite strange, and for the first time I'm starting to hear that accommodation doesn't provide blankets. And what does a liner do exactly - keep me warm? protect me from bedbugs? I've only started reading yesterday people writing loads on here about bringing liners, but what...

    Can I buy hiking stuff on the way?

    I've never hiked for 30 days. I read and read; and watch videos, and I will pack to the best of my understanding... But let's say I don't buy something fundamental, or let's say I buy something and find out on the camino it doesn't work for me. Can I buy hiking specialized gear ON the camino...

    Hello guys! This is the first time I will ever do something of this kind! I don't know where to even begin from... But here's one question, to start with: Do I need tops & shorts from a professional camping store, or can I just wear a regular top from Forever 21, or H&M, that is of course...
