    Hi We walked the Camino Portuguese in June from Valença to Santiago. 124km. We took it slow. On our first day only from Valença to Tui and the rest of the way in 8 days. We stopped a lot at small churches and bars for coffee. We really enjoyed...

    If you have 2-4 weeks, I would recommend the Salvador/Primitivo combination. I don't know why you would consider the solitary. It is the fourth most walked route (after the Frances, Portugues, and Ingles). When I walked it last year, there were...

    Provided you’ve the self-discipline not to fill the bag, it doesn’t matter. The fit is all that’s important. I use an Osprey 35l and it’s about 75% full. I’d struggle to get a smaller sack with the back-length and height to fit me.

    The 26L is for my wife. The 44L is for me. (26+44)/2=35 L 😉 (Note: in the spreadsheet, the 26L is not included in the total because the number of items is 0)

    I personally have used an Osprey 36L for years in all seasons and have even recently used the 34L for a 65 day fall/winter caminos! It's a great pack, and when it tears five years from now you send it to Osprey and they replace it for free! I am...
