Take Earplugs

• One night in an ancient convent with sixty
  middle-aged and tired out men lying on their
  backs in bunks within 20 metres of you will teach
  you this. Earplugs are also good for those times
  at the refugio when you just want to sit down in
  silence - for a pilgrimage the Camino can get
  mighty conversational. Warning Earplugs may
  shield you from offending sounds but will not
  protect your nostrils from any penetrating body
  vapors.

Remember, It's Not a Race

• This can be hard to remember, particularly
  towards the end of the walk when the refugios
  start to get crowded - most of them work on a
  'first walker in gets the bed' policy. It's very
  easy to exhaust yourself trying to make sure of
  that bed at the end of the day one way around
  this is to suck it up and carry a bedroll.

Ask for Advice

• One of the most amazing things about the Camino
  is the people you will meet. Many of them are
  experienced walkers - in fact scratch anyone and
  they'll be an expert on something. This was how
  I found out about a fail-safe protection from
  blisters - from an old lady I shared a bunk room
  with on the second night.

Talk, and Listen

• Conversations on the Camino can last for days.
  The walking, and the nothing-to-do-but-walk
  thing, makes for a gentle, rambling,
  stream-of-conciousness type conversation that's
  precious and unique. You'll never forget some of
  these talks. Also, talk to locals as much as
  possible. They can't speak much English, you
  can't speak much Spanish, but you generally find
  they don't mind and it's quite fun conversing
  with people using the language of charades.

6
Keep a Journal

• You'll see many people on the walk jotting down
  their thoughts in the long afternoons once you've
  reached the refugio, had your siesta and
  stretched out in the sun or in front of the fire.
  The Camino will put you in a place that can be
  hard to remember later when you rejoin the
  non-Camino world, so keep a record in any way you
  can!
