what one last minute sage piece of advice or wisdom would you share with a pilgrim just leaving for Camino? Imagine that your good friend is beginning the walk the next day and you are sitting around with a good glass of whatever toasting your friend and sending him/her off with your best wishes and thoughts, what is that last piece of wisdom you share.....
 
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.
feet up with a glass of good wine every evening........
clean socks in the morning :)
 
It´s going to be really, really tough sometimes. You´re going to be dis-illusioned. But adventures are like that. You´re starting on what may be the adventure of a lifetime!

New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
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.
Go at your own pace. Dont be tempted to go faster than you are comfortable with for fear of losing the friends you have made. The people who are a day behind you are most likely just as friendly and companionable and you will be glad to have to have met them too. More than likely you will see the people who went ahead of you time and time again over the coming weeks.
Its YOUR camino so do your own thing!

Have a wonderful camino,

Laura

PS I second the clean socks thought too!
