That's double cool... Thanks for sharing.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Love it. Pity it goes in reverse though. ...bit like looking out the back of the bus rather than the front.....:)

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
This an excellent too in sharing with our friends about the geographical aspect of the walk. I found it on you tube about 6 weeks ago. My grand children were particularly interest as to where Meema and Papa were going. My daughter told me that share it with thier friends.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

Incredible! Intimidating! I'm there in a mere 10 weeks!
Good luck, im there in late May, and a mixture of nervousness and excitement are starting to grip me. I'm still in the stress mode re getting the weight down on my Ruck Sack
 
Thanks. Just sent to a friend who wants to walk some on the camino, but only has a few days and wants to decide what part.

Yup! I'm a little over and haven't put together my medical/toiletry kit. But when I'm ready, I'll post everything and let everyone break it down for me....:eek:
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Being rather nervous about the first stage, I especially like the way it makes the Pyrenees look like an anthill.
 
Not sure if this has been posted before, but I just ran across it and thought it was kinda neat...
That is brilliant. Planning to do the Camino next year for my 70th birthday. We want to do it over two months so we have time to soak up the history on the way. Looks like some amazing cathedrals to explore. Thanks.

Here (hopefully) is a kmz file showing key points along the Frances.
I think I picked it up two or three years ago from a German camino site.
Open it in Google Earth and you can spin it around and start out from SJPP and head west at your own speed clicking the left mouse button and "flicking" the mouse towards yourself.
If you can't download it from here let me know and I'll copy it to Dropbox or Google Drive.

regards to all
