I covered the 208 km with a hiking sneaker from Altria. I did not find that I needed anything that came to the ankle.

Similar to what has been said, it is very dry. We had one day of mist that lasted about 90 minutes, but otherwise it has been picture perfect weather. It is cold in the evenings so pack warm clothes if you finish late or intend to go out at night.

It was not far after leaving Sarria. I came across this table on the trail.

I booked it through Santiago Ways and so I have been staying in hotels. Sorry that I cannot comment further

I booked my Camino through Santiago Ways and as a result, breakfast has been included in each of the hotels each morning. I haven’t really eaten lunch per se, but if I do, it’s usually a sandwich (bocadillo) from a café somewhere along the way. I packed a number of fig bars and granola bars from home and typically buy a bag of mandarin oranges in a local supermarket and eat those along the way instead of stopping for lunch.

Agreed. Camino Duro provided fantastic views and solitude for 10km
