- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2013 - 2018 , Pilgrim Office volunteer 2014 - 2022
I came across this article in my daily reading. There is a lot of good, basic information. I do NOT agree with the recommendation to wear cotton socks. But other than that, I can go along with the rest of it.
The important part, IMHO, is the link to a directory of podiatrists along the Camino. In my experience, I have relied on Señor Google and "podiatrist near me" in the Maps app to locate help the couple of times I needed it. I really needed a podiatrist to cut thick bloody calluses off a problematic right heel. Both times, I obtained instant relief at bargain prices. The language barrier was never a problem.
Here is the newspaper article:
www.elcorreogallego.es
and HERE is the link in the article to the ENGLISH directory of podiatrists:
copoga.com
Hope this helps.
