    Hi I am starting my camino on 16th Sept at St Jean Pied de Port to Santiego. I have recently had an ankle injury which seems kinda fine atm. But I am considering using Rucksack transfeer on some stages but not all. Is this possible? I have had a...

    So, I’m beginning my fifth week on the Camino. It certainly has been a journey filled with surprises. The novelty and excitement have worn off. But after a rest day in León, I’ve recovered enough to resume my walk. I hope that my resolve is...
