      I contacted scabies while walking the Camino Francis. I have "no doubt" about this. Although I may not have elaborated on this earlier, I did check out and rule out other possibilities. The only place I stayed prior to starting my Camino was at...

      Hola That is not entirely correct. After the initial exposure to scabies, symptoms can take 2 to 8 weeks to appear. However, symptoms usually develop more quickly in people who’ve had scabies before, often as soon as 1 to 4 days after exposure...

      I contacted scabies on the Camino Frances! I live in a rural area with my sons' family of 6. None of them have any symptoms and they should have if I contracted scabies prior to walking the Frances. Please don't question where I contracted...

      I too found pilgrims meals poor quality. I was too lazy to supplement at the supermarkets. Next time I will have to make more effort. Sometimes I didn't want to eat dinner at 8 pm so would go to a bar and have frozen pizza. I found that it...

      That was not my understanding when I went into this. I’ve been under the impression (now completely dispelled) that everything closed from 2-5 PM, so my experience was bewildering as an inexperienced rookie, as I could never make sense on why in...

      Um, , that’s not how it happened for me. There is no predictable meal hours from one town to the next. Does the kitchen opens ant 5, 6, 7, or 8 pm?? I tried to order the menu del día a few times but it seemed that it was at the wrong time. With...

      I agree 100% with you. My food experience in my recent Camino was very stressful and frustrating. Besides the limited choices, the unpredictable meal times made it worse. I never knew what would be available, or when. Every town seemed to be...

      Many people have made suggestions already. Adequate protein is important so I would bring protein bars, or buy eggs or nuts whenever you have a chance, although not all places had a kitchen I found. As for weight loss….there is such an abundance...

      Protein bars or powder is a good strategy. I had some bars. No, no one starves or gets seriously malnourished, but Spain is not a third world country yet I have eaten better in third world countries than on this section of the Camino.

      Doug…I am talking about “availability” of nutritious food along the route, including supplementary to that available in albergues, restaurants, or otherwise…not an inability to look after myself, or a lack of money or other resources to buy or...
