- can I buy a bordon in SJPDP ? how much does it cost ?
Not sure what that is.
Do I need to book in advance the albergue for the first night ?
You can. For me, I never booked the whole way, and it was my understanding this passed April to June was one of the busiest ever. I waited at times...then, I was content sleeping outside if necessary. It's the Camino.
- I bought trekking gear yesterday. For the moment I'll be carrying: two polyester t-shirts+one with long sleeves+ 2 shorts+ 1 trousers+1 Poncho+1 flask+ trekking shoes (of course)+2 pairs of good socks+ maybe a short and a shirt more for the evenings+ first aid kit,tootbrush,etc+camera+sleeping bag and small mattress+ earplugs
Do you have any suggestion of another thing to carry ?
A swiss army knife with only a small blade and wine opener. You can buy at any Spanish cutlery store. I got mine in Pamplona. Was great for cutting bread and cheese and opening wine bottles. It was all I needed. Everything else you list sounds fine. Just make sure it isn't over 10 percent of your body weight. In other words, you weigh 100 kilos, then carry no more than 10.
- is it easy to find water on the way ? (my flask is only 1l)
You can find water along the way easily. Just keep that bottle filled up. Since it will be warmer when you go, fill that bottle up ever town you get because it is only 1 liter.
- how do you wash your clothes every night ? do you take a bit of handwash powder or soap is enough ?
Sometimes you are too tired to wash, or it isn't convenient. That is okay, though, its the Camino, and you sometimes smell. Get some wash you can also use for clothes that they sell at most outdoor stores. I usually wore my moisture wicking underwear in the shower at night when I could, wash my undies with my boy wash while still wearing them, then, take them off and wash the rest of me. Normally they would dry by morning, or I would hang them on my backpack as I hiked the next leg of the Camino. My other pair I would wear in the meantime, and repeat the process again in the evening at the next albergue.
- where to have breakfast in the mornings ? is the best solution to buy groceries the night before ?
Breakfast. I was under the impression the Spanish didn't have breakfast by the time I finished the Camino. Bread, jam, and coffee. For the most part, unless you buy a banana or apple in the grocery the night before, those are your options for most of the Camino.
- can you find easily "internet cafes" ? I'll skype once a week probably
You can find them in bigger towns and cities. But, unless you have your Iphone with a Spanish sim card with internet, might be a problem. I was online about once every week and a half or so. It all depended on finding a computer. I brought no technology but my little camera. That was my Camino.
Thanks for all your help, I am really looking forward to be on the road !!
Outstanding. Now get out there and walk!
Buen Camino!
