    Someone in Oviedo who speaks Spanish and has some time on their hands?

    Hi all! Not sure where to post this (moderators, please feel free to move to the correct section if it’s wrong here). Due to a mess up of the Dutch postal service, the parcel I sent home from Oviedo to the Netherlands, has not been delivered, but… sent back to Oviedo! I found out after I got...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    I walked the ruta verde 8&9 May and I almost had to swim a few sections. No bathing suit available I opted for scrambling through the woods. Another person did not fancy that and simply walked on the roads. Very handy if indeed you have Mapy.cz so you can check out your options. I loved it by...

    want solitude

    Hi Imans, I am walking the Camino Madrid now. Very few people! Once I arrive at the Frances I will most likely continue the Salvador route from Leon, and then the Primitivo. I don’t know about the the other two yet, but if solitude is what you are after, the Madrid might be a good start. I am in...

    Reviews: Stiff rocker-style shoes that come in women's extra wide

    Hi! Great info, thanks. Sounds like my feet also (with a neuroma in each foot thrown in for good measure). Have you tried the brooks max yet? I tried them on today, and they were rather comfortable (even in standard width). But I doubt whether they are rugged enough (upper and sole) for an...

    Planning?

    Thanks so much! I was indeed thinking of lightweight emergency food to always have at hand to get me through the day, and restock when needed. I am bringing a quilt (plus maybe one of them silver emergency blankets) even though the thought of spending the night outside does not appeal at all, I...

    Planning?

    Thanks for your extensive response! Great tip regarding the last stage into SdC. My trip home is already fixed (but in case of desperate need could be changed). Since this is my first Camino the first four days will most likely give me some insights on realistic stages. Seems that I’ve been...

    Planning?

    Hello! Just wandering how (if) you plan your camino. How and to what detail would you do this? I am starting in April from Madrid, and basically booked the first four nights (incl Segovia), also since I will be walking with my husband. After Segovia I will be by myself, and stages will depend...

    Interesting! This is new to me, will look into it, thank you

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    More than a mile, ouch that’s tough. I read a lot about custom orthotics vs off the shelf ones and that often the first ones work equally fine at a fraction of the cost. And also read the other day something about shoe fit: yes of course wide fit for toes, and enough space. But if you overdo it...

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    Hoping indeed for something like this as a cure!

    Morton’s Neuroma shoe choice

    Thanks Natcats, great you found your magic combo. After reading about them here on the forum, I also ordered lone peaks, but they are too soft/floppy for me. Also tried the speedgoats in wide, and misc Salomons. Thinking now Ultra raptors in wide might be the go, or Topo. But before ordering...
