    Twenty year anniversary of the Camino de Santiago forum

    Congratulations! I would say "20th Anniversary" or "20th year". The word "Anniversary" already implies "Year". The department of redundancy department.

    Buying comfortable shoes for Hiking or ...?

    You seem like the type of person that needs to pack at least 5 pairs of footwear....and still won't have all conditions covered. Take ONE pair of black ASICS running shoes with removable insoles. That's all you'll ever need in any condition.

    LIVE from the Camino Final etapa from Lugo to Santiago

    Hello Michelle! Great video. I'd like to ask you about your bikes. Did you rent the ebikes in Spain or are they your bikes? If rented, what was the company? How did you return the bikes? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!!

    Ebike battery charging in albergue

    The rental company will give you the cables to charge the battery. All you need is to plug and charge the battery. Same as a mobile phone.

    Rain Pants?

    We got some from Decatlón. If you bring them it won't rain, if you don't, it will rain buckets. This was our experience.

    Asics running shoe durability

    Sometimes a familiar Devil is better than an unfamiliar Saint. I find replacing the insoles alone make the Asics feel brand new.

    Advice on specific Decathlon rain jackets?

    I have the red and blue "Tribord" sailing jacket from Decatlón. Great features, well built, pockets zippers, great hood. Advertised as "breathable". It is not. It's like wearing a shower curtain. Waterproof? YES.

    Re-considering zip-off convertible pants

    I find that items that are designed to do two things, usually do them half as well. Stretch denim (Jeans) pants and a separate stretch denim shorts have served me the best. Lots of pockets. They are available in a variety of colors too.
