      Thanks Chrissy l've really enjoyed your posts and they will help my planning for later this year. I'll also look out for the mojones too.

      P.S. We fly home tomorrow, and I decided to share some of the photos I took of every artistic hand hewn Mojone I saw. I think my first sighting was in Pueblo de Sanabria. I am inserting @Elle Bieling's research on these fascinating chunks of...

      Day 14...sent a day late. The sun was shining today and the weather was warmer. It was a glorious blue sky, perfect day and I'd almost forgotten what they are like with no cloud cover. Our day was embarrassingly short at about 10k, but it was...

      CarolamS reacted to HeidiL's post in the thread Showers with Like Like.
      Personally, having a shower in the morning when walking long distances is a no go. I want completely dry feet in the morning, otherwise, I get blisters.

      So….. we had 1 inch of rain here at home in a 4 hour period. We found it and opportunity to test our packs/setup. We hiked 12 miles in pure downpour. We both wore shorts and no pack covers as mine is waterproof and his Osprey has a waterproof...

      Yup! I used to think my rain coat was "all that", but now I swear by my Altus poncho. It is like wearing a jacket with sleeves that covers both you and your pack. I got mine in person in Pamplona last year at Caminoteca although Ivar has them on...

      CarolamS reacted to Sirage's post in the thread Any risk of walking without insoles? with Like Like.
      We are all different, but here is my take: I've done a lot of walking and would never risk my feet. If my shoe-insole-sock combination weren't in reasonably good order, I would take a bus or taxi to somewhere to fix the problem. After all I want...

      I started on Aug 23rd last year. The precise date was dictated by the availability of a bed in Albergue Border. The first day up the mountain it was very hot and very humid so I was very pleased to have a "half-way" stop. The next day it was very...

      CarolamS reacted to trecile's post in the thread Roads versus Trails with Thank you Thank you.
      The Buen Camino app shows how many kms if each stage are on paved roads and how many are on trails. You can see this on each stage like this: I also created a "stage" that covers the entire Camino Francés. It shows 292.53 km that is paved...

      CarolamS reacted to Camino Chrissy's post in the thread Food on the via la plata with Like Like.
      I am on the Sanabres now and can vouch for @Scott...O 's recommendation to eat at "Me Gusta Comer". It's a great place and I first heard of it from forum members.
