  These ladies are true angels of the Camino. I had heard about how amazing they are, but to actually experience their hospitality was something else. The bocadillos are truly enormous though. One of them could easily feed two people. We also...

  Ah just there now having a coffee before setting off. Some of the local chaps are cracking onto the liquor post shift but not me! Very little open even at 0730! Got a stamp here. Feel like I am following in the footsteps of greatness knowing...

  I have just arrived at Ferrol this afternoon. It’s a lovely sunny day and just having lunch at a bar by the start point. My train from Madrid was late and I arrived at the tourist office at 1405 to get a credential and it closed at 1400. Clearly...

  I have Keen H2 sandals as well and will wear them in urban environments. The only issue I have with them when hiking is that pebbles can easily get in through the vent holes.

  Good work! Well I will write up a ‘end of tour’ report with an overview of any logistical bits and pieces so hope that helps and fell free to ask any questions ! I am not a planner and just have t shirts, shorts, a jumper, and a bucket hat, so...

  By the time you walk from the train station to the tourist office, it'll be around 8:30AM. Have breakfast at a nearby bar and before you know it, it'll be 9AM and the office will be open.

  My opinion here, waterproof shoes/boots are not waterproof, you encounter enough rain, snow or whatever and your feet will be wet. They are hot and my feet sweat in them. I agree with @Pafayac that there are better ways to deal with this concern.

  We've been back 3 weeks now and have barely had time to breathe! Walking a Camino is one of the best things we've ever done. I'm not religious or spiritual in any way but thoroughly enjoyed visiting all the little churches along the way and...

  Varekai reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Vegetarian Camino - a real sacrifice with Like.
  
  I don’t mean to sound snarky here, but no one asked you to do this. You chose to eat in restaurants in a culture where veganism is still not mainstream. Grocery stores sell all of the things you were craving. Many regular forum members who are...
