    Windows and Doors of the Camino Photography Book

    Hello, My name is Debby and in 2015 I walked the Camino Francés and the Camino from Finisterre to Muxía. Both were awesome experiences. When I travel, my favorite subject to photograph is windows and doors, so during my walks, I purposely took these types of pictures along the way. Of the 1,300...

    Socks

    Janicelee, I just discovered the Injini Coolmax Toesocks, too, and have been trying them out before I go in May, and love them, too. A question, though, for you - do you just wear one layer of the toesocks, or do you do the double-layer thing like some people recommend? Thanks!

    Dr. Bronner's Soap

    Oooh, nice. I think I'll bring less of whatever I decide to start off with, just so I can use some Spanish soaps! Thanks.

    Dr. Bronner's Soap

    Thanks, everyone, for your hints, clues, and suggestions about soaps, whether liquid or "bars."

    Dr. Bronner's Soap

    I'm thinking of only carrying an ounce or two of Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap to start. When I run out, is it available for sale anywhere along Camino Frances? Thanks!

    Starting in St. Palais instead of St. Jean

    Thank you, Whistling. Good to know that you recommend it and had a good experience!

    Starting in St. Palais instead of St. Jean

    Walter, Thank you very much for all this information. I was actually thinking of stopping in Orisson, so I can decide if I want to stop in Orisson or Honto. And part of the reason I wanted to start in St. Palais is to see the Beneditenia stone. I appreciate the other suggestions you gave me as well.

    Thank you! Helpful.

    Starting in St. Palais instead of St. Jean

    Thank you, whariwharangi. So it looks like a train to Bayonne, then the bus to St Palais would be easiest. Fortunately the SNCF website has a version in English, but the transports64 does not. Do you happen to know if there is an English version of transports64?

    Starting in St. Palais instead of St. Jean

    I am looking forward to my Camino in the summer of 2015, and this is my first post to this forum! I was thinking of starting, though in St. Palais instead of St. Jean, because I saw a post on this forum about this idea from 2011, which suggested that this provides two days of warm-up walking...

    Debby's Departures Camino Travel Blogs

    Last year, I walked from Leon to Santiago, and then a bit beyond to Finisterre. I travel blog, and wrote about my experiences when I returned home. Sometime in the next few years, I plan on returning to this sacred place and walking from St. Jean. Here is a link to my Camino de Santiago category...
