    If I were to buy a backpack for my next camino, I would buy an Osprey Exos 48 liter backpack. The women's version is the Eja 48. It's got more than enough room for everything I would need, plus I could use it for weekend backpacking trips in the...

    All I know is that it sounds very confusing when you are planning, but once you are there, it all makes sense. We went from Porto on the coastal as we love the ocean and we had a FANTASTIC camino, though I think if I did it again, I might do the...

    hi, @Octosaurus, welcome to the forum. From Lisbon, you have three choices (at least). The so-called coastal route, which really doesn’t spend much time on the coast at all, and goes through Sintra. We have a sub-forum on that route here...

    Everyone seems to recommend the Frances for my first Camino. I do not like crowds, and like to make my own way. Which Camino (30ish) days would also be good for a wandering first timer?
