    The Taking of Gloves Paradox

    I took these gloves last year May-June and did not use them. Took them again this year in May-June and had to use them a few times. Very chilly on a few morning. They are called FLASHDRY and are made by North Face. Very light and dry quickly if they get wet.

    Choosing First Camino Route - Mid October Start

    For my first Camino May-June 2023 I had narrowed it down to Portuguese from Porto, del Norte or the Frances. Was leaning towards Portuguese because it was only 2 weeks and I was a little nervous about a long Camino because I was going solo. Norte was my second choice because i'am a chef and the...

    When to rent accommodation?

    I walked from Valencia to Santiago this past June after I walked the Camino Francés. I reserved my rooms for the 6 nights it took me to walk back to Santiago. A couple of places I stayed at still had beds available when I arrived and some were full.

    Sunrises and Sunsets

    Had lots of sunrise put only one sunset. Sun going down in Astorga. Walked Camino Francés in 2023 and said that was great but once was enough.
