    Plus one for Gossamer Gear's umbrella holder. A huge negative to specialized "sun" umbrellas. They really aren't necessary and are somewhat of a gimmick. A plain old black umbrella does as good of a job. This is why, I'm bringing the GG holder...

    I passed through Nájera today. To quote John Lennon, “ I just had to look”. As you probably know, the red sandstone cliffs run right alongside the houses. Definitely unusual. These red beds underly the whole area from near Navarette almost all...

    Thanks for the heads up and recommendation Leonor : I just scrolled through Gronze to find it as it sounded interesting to me. It is in Corcubión / just after Cee (Gronze has it in their etapa 3F. ). Link to the albergue in Gronze below...

    TheRealPixie replied to the thread Overthinking this thing..
    Yes! I think all the planning, podcasts, YouTube videos and multiple forums get me excited and pumped up to do it. It's like my brain is already on the camino. My body just isn't there yet. (18 more days!)
