      This is a wonderful Camino! Make sure you get Ender's guide - there are some small villages where you need to call a day ahead to make sure they have food for you (e.g., Pajares). Also, Poladura de la Tercia's lone restaurant used to be closed on...

      The part that still doesn’t add up for me is why it frequently seems to pop up in the same place - Carrion de los Condes or thereabouts?

      Interesting! We were in Hontanas September 28, 2018, Carrion Sept. 29, and then 5 of 6 got sick and barely made it to Ledigos. We were never able to pinpoint what the problem could have been, but there's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire...

      BobY333 replied to the thread Norte-San Salvador-Primitivo.
      Sounds like a great plan! You’ll be plenty warmed up by the time you reach León. The San Salvador can be walked in 4-6 days (day one will determine if you can do less than five). Also, if you’re pressed for time and physically ready for it, I...

      If I were you…I would try something different to begin, and see if it fits your needs for this Camino. There are so, so many to choose from that I would start somewhere new. If you find you don’t like it and you are wanting/needing what feels...

      I walked the San Salvador in 2022 and 2023. I never lost cellular coverage. It’s very well marked (and Ender just walked it and made sure of this). Be sure to get his guide (Google it). This is my favorite Camino combination. The San Salvador...

      You beat me to it! Huge San Salvador/Primitivo combo fan here. I was just thinking about it again this morning. The most beautiful walk through the mountains - yes, you need to be ready for ups and downs. Someone else's line is, "The...

      Exactly. But as noted, it's noisy. Also, someone made the very good point that it traps all the moisture. So, it's a no-go!

      I wonder whether one of the heat wraps that get distributed to runners at the end of a race would work well? Has anyone tried tucking one into a liner? Super lightweight, but their ability to keep in the heat is crazy. I suppose it could be a...

      BobY333 replied to the thread Albergue in Pola de Gordón!.
      Forgot about that one - that makes sense!
