  Honestly, thats a weak argument. The Chinese/Vietnamese/Bangladeshi/etc workers making the backpacks for Osprey, Gregory, Deuter and whatnot will in all likelyhood not be any better of than the workers making packs for any of the myriad of...

  I don't think it is well designed. I don't think it will last long. I do think there are quite some questionable claims (it will not be waterproof). Most likely you can do a camino with it. Or with any of the other cheap backpacks from Aliexpress...

  Have to say, I am a bit sceptical, when i look at the "improvements" to the way done in the past. Just paving the way in concrete, that is far from the ideal walking surface, is not the only option available. The rest reads like the typical...

  Never walked the Portugal route, but on the Frances as well as the Primitivo there have been numerous places where i would think nobody would mind much if you put up your tent sundown to sunrise. Yes, not legal, you know that. Thinking of those...

  Abastos 2.0 if you like seafood. Taberna do Bispo for a bit more "touristic" tapas (still good) O Gato Negro for a bit mor traditional experience

  Then maybe, maybe, Burgos to Fromista could be your thing. After leaving Burgos behind you get very much of that typical Meseta landscape. However, as @J Willhaus pointed out, consider if it is worth the effort. You need to get to Burgos. You'll...

  It is not completely clear to me what your best options are. You initially planned the ~115km from Sarria to Santiago, because of time constraints. Thats fine. Now you want to add the ~240km Burgos to Astorga to it. Also a good idea, but a bit...

- Anhalter replied to the thread Air connection Budapest-Oviedo.
  
  3h45min should be plenty, even if the flight arrives a little late. If you have checked luggage, i think you have to claim it first, check it for the second flight and go through security once again. Again, sounds possible in the time given, but...

  Toyed with ChatGPT for a bit for a Camin Frances schedule. It struggled and got pretty useless the minute you left the typical schedules. Like something simple "I want to walk from SJPDPD to SdC in 26 days" brought a "regular" schedule and then...

  Thanks Robo, once again a wonderful experience you share with us! While i don't have a similar story to share, i very much remember me in Pamplona, Day 3 of my first Camino thinking something along the lines: "OK, now everyone made such a fuss...
