Time of past OR future Camino
I tried in 09, it went horribly. Gonna try again. Aug/Sept this year
Can anyone tell me about swimsuits please? I know at least one Refugio has a pool... can we just swim in our shorts and shirts?
 
Camino Ready, Backpacks, Boots etc
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I saw a couple of young ladies swimming in suits at one pool.
I also saw a couple go in their shorts and tee-shirts.
I think it's probably up to you whether or not you want to carry a suit for one swim?
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
I took one and it turned out to be great for walking in the rain. I wore a pair of nylon wind pants over it and both dried in no time once the rain stopped.
 
Take some! You'll only regret it if you don't when you see the pool at Portomarin!

I have my bikini with me on my camino and I also use it as a night wear under a T- shirt. So better to take one...

Howdy!! Thanks everyone for taking the time to give me a heads up... it's truly appreciated. I planned on taking my top piece with shorts but wondered if I'd need the whole thing. It would be good for walkin' in the rain...great idea. Actually I've found I LOVE to walk in the rain...and you usually have the place to yourself.

I also just realized that this post would be better suited (no pun intended ) for the clothing section... Sorry.


Happy Trails.....
 
Hi Karla,

Even though I used my togs only once, at Calzadilla de la Cueza, I'm glad I had them, and will take them again this year.

Edit.......don't go expecting an olympic sized pool :lol:

Red Albergue members with pools:

Puenta La Reina - Santiago Apostol
Puenta La Reina - Jakue
Lorca - La Bodega del Camino
Boadilla del Camino - En El Camino
Calzadilla de la Cueza - Camino Real
Terradillos de los Templarios - Jacques de Molay

The odds of a pool at a municipal or church albergue are very small.
 
And the Fuente de los Moros on the way to Villamayor de Monjardin (between Estella & Los Arcos).

And the various & sundry rivers you cross...oh the possibilities!

My favorite swimming place along the camino is in the Rio Porma, beneath the bridge into Puente de Villarente. A great break on that long slog between Mansilla and Leon... if you survive the bridge crossing, double back beneath and there´s a wonderful swimming hole!
