Like.
The only other thing that I would add to @Vacajoe excellent post is that possibly a very honest mistake in booking was made. I primarily stay in private albergues. I generally, but not always, have reservations with some of them being made... -
kelleymac replied to the thread Blistered to bits-need help!.I had a pair of shoes that were perfect until I walked for a few hours with a pack, and then they were too small.

Can you switch out your footwear for sandals? If you don't have walking sandals (and can't borrow them), consider taking public transport to Decathlon in Vigo for walking sandals (and socks). Good luck!

kelleymac reacted to Stephan the Painter's post in the thread Backpack transfer to a place I’m not staying with Like.
I met people who did this. Of course it is bad form. Maybe chose a popular albergue. Perhaps it'll be full and they'll apologize to you! Or call and ask and offer to pay a few Euros. Or best yet, carry your pack if you are able, at least that...

kelleymac reacted to MesaWalker's post in the thread interesting article from 2018--I'm not sure it has been posted here before. with Like.
There is a lot to chew on in this article. On a fall 2021 Camino Francés, many of our fellow pilgrims were coming to the Camino on the heels of a major life transition - a divorce, a death, loss of a job, retirement, etc. I think the...
