  From the Pilgrim office website : Peregrinación a pie o a caballo: haber caminado 100 km por cualquiera de las rutas reconocidas como oficiales por la S.A.M.I. Catedral de Santiago. The English language version still uses the word "last" around...

- SioCamino replied to the thread 14 year old bicigrino...good idea?.
  
  I think that depends on how you choose to engage with the time. This summer I met a young catalán boy (13) cycling with his dad. They seemed to be doing similar distances to myself (20-27km depending on the day) as I met them several times. I...

  Personally I find the bladder great and it means that I keep drinking small amounts as I walk staying hydrated and (I believe) needing to toilet less. I found with bottles that I drank less as had to stop to get my bottle out and then glugged the...

  It varies along the way. The vines were ripening in La Rioja, the meseta was golden and then the mountains and Galicia were green and lush - but that reflects the poor summer (a fair bit of rain and not much sun) that they had.

  I walked this year in August, starting 15th August from Logroño, arriving to SdC on the 11th September and Fisterra on the 15th. It was a great camino, the weather was hot but not too hot (I didn't walk in the afternoons but didn't generally...

- SioCamino replied to the thread Walked the Camino over 12 times to Santiago never once went into Cathedral..
