    Pilgrim shame

    I wasn't arguing about who is a real pilgrim. My argument was that IMO I believe that if you are going to walk a camino then you should walk it - not take a taxi or bus.

    Sleeping gear for VdlP

    Ideally, you should bring a 3-season goose-feather sleeping bag for warmth and lightweight features. Most good ones come with a waterproof bag to store it in.

    Pilgrim shame

    I'm walking the Via de la Plata and was shocked by how many pilgrims took a taxi from Castilblanco to the start of the natural park. If you are ill or injured, or if there is an urgent time-need, take a bus or taxi. If, though, you just can't be bothered - like my fellow taxigrinos - to walk a...
