    Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback. Seems like SJPP will be a one night stop.

    Rest day in SJPP?

    Hi - I am currently on the Via Podiensis and in a few weeks will be arriving in SJPP and then continuing on the Frances for a bit. I have never been to SJPP before and am wondering if it is worth taking a rest day there or pushing on and taking a rest day in Pamplona. Any one have any...

    Hiking Sandals on the Camino

    Toe socks help with the pinky blisters if you are looking to try shoes again.

    Hiking Sandals on the Camino

    I am with team sandals. I wore Chacos exclusively on the Frances and Norte and felt they were great for me during a summer Camino. I am currently on the via Podiensis and am alternating between sandals and trail runners (there is a lot of mud on this route currently). Definitely would not...

    Navigating the Camino Del Norte/Primitivo

    I would encourage you to use the mapy.cz app, which is an offline map that shows the Camino route along with every other hiking route in the area including the wonderful coastal variants.

    Patagonia Cool Daily Hoody

    Hey all- I purchased the Patagonia hoodie this afternoon so will be wearing that for the Camino. Being able to try it and the REI Sahara on and compare really helped. Thanks for the assistance!

    Be careful with phones.

    The new version of Android, coming out later in the year, will have this feature.

    Be careful with phones.

    The problem, as a link in a previous comment points out, is that phone thieves are now waiting to see someone using their phone and then they snatch it out of their hand so the phone is unlocked and they can have their way with it.

    Patagonia Cool Daily Hoody

    I I was looking into this one but was concerned with the low spf rating and reviews saying wearers were sunburned when wearing it.

    Be careful with phones.

    Android 15, coming out later this year, is set to have a bunch of new security features to combat some of the issues mentioned in that article including being able to detect when your phone is yanked out of your hand (and then lock it automatically)! It will also allow for hidden apps with...

    Patagonia Cool Daily Hoody

    Thanks. I will be in REI next week and will give this one a good look over. Though with the annual REI anniversary sale going on I might just stick with the Sahara.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Sometimes I think 90% of this forum is just rehashing old issues with no resolution. lol.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    These.are great. I got them last year for the Norte and while I didn't come across many snorers I did find that when I did the noise blockers worked perfectly. I used the brown noise setting and it seemed to be just the right pitch to counter out snoring but not other things,.like alarms etc.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Nothing worse than seeing a well rested snorer in the morning after you have been up all night cursing them.

    Patagonia Cool Daily Hoody

    Does anyone have experience with the Patagonia Cool Daily long sleeve hoody on the Camino? Last summer on the Norte I wore the REI Sahara long sleeve t-shirt and while I liked it I found it a bit heavy for summer and a bit stinky and slow drying. As I get ready for another summer Camino I am...
