Tips from walkers at our April 2023 meetup
- Just do it!
- Which Camino? > Size of pack
- Stay at Casa Susi
- Not too far on first day! Smaller chunks and build up gradually
- If too much luggage, you can send it on
- Blister hotspot? > Pharmacy
- Carry food. Some places do not open on weekends
- Be prepared to be flexible
- Keep an eye on arrow > retrace your steps
- Expect the unexpected
- Ziplock bag + toilet paper
- Pilgrim passport > discount on meal
- Do not eat offal!
- Keep smiling, especially when you don’t understand
- Go at your own pace – it’s not a competition
- Take walking poles. Don’t use them going through villages early in the morning
- No rustling of plastic bags (in albergue at night)
- Head torch – no shining in people’s eyes
- You are a visitor – remember
- Donativo doesn’t mean free
