      How I wish your comment consisted solely of the part beginning "The whole thing...". If this happened to your 25 year old son or best friend on his first Camino (and on a limited budget), I don't think your reaction would be to go away for a few...

      Since 2006 and several Caminos (and parts of Caminos) I have never personally heard of anyone getting their shoes or backpacks stolen until now. I'm not doubting that it happens. But it's obviously rare, thank God.

      I so enjoyed el Duro variant! The views are stunning and walking in solitude is wonderful for contemplation. Once in Pradela, be sure to stop in Albergue Lamas for a bite and beverage. The owners are wonderful people. Given their "off the...

      Bedbugs can live inside clothes and luggage. Boots are dirty and some people wear sandals to walk, which they pack inside their backpacks. There's a good reason why boots/shoes/sandals are kept APART from dorms. We all know it and there are...

      Yes, all good advice. It's just sad because it's the guy's first Camino and I spoke to him again and he's pretty sure they were stolen. What a terrible impression 😢

      Another alternative is to bring a light stuff sack for your shoes, put your shoes in the bag, and then put the bag in or lashed to your pack. That way you aren't tracking mud and dirt into the sleeping quarters but don't risk losing your shoes...

      Or remove one of the laces altogether. A pain having to re-lace every morning but it's doubtful somebody would take footwear missing a lace "by mistake".

      Writing this from Villatuerta on the Camino Frances. Mid-afternoon might be a bit too late to stop. It hit 31 degrees c at 12pm yesterday and got hotter from there. I saw someone sick with minor heatstroke at my albergue as she was still out...
