The Camino de Santiago’s “French Way” is one of the most popular routes for tourists throughout the world. This ancient pilgrimage path, which cuts through northern Spain after originating in the French Pyrenees mountains, is full of natural beauty, charming small towns, and stunning cathedrals. The Camino can be done in different ways, and here are some that you might enjoy trying.

On Foot

The traditional way to do the Camino is on foot, with the grueling walk between France and Santiago de Compostela often taking up to a month. However, it is a hugely rewarding experience as you will walk with fellow pilgrims and see the landscape at a slow pace up close.

By Bike

Doing the Camino de Santiago is becoming more and more popular by bike, as the culture of cyclists who check out this route continues to grow. You’ll find that all of the paths and roads on the Camino are bikeable, making it a great option if you have the stamina to do this version.

By Car

Are you looking to do a fast version of the Camino? If so, you can definitely do it by car even though it might not be the most traditional way. Go slowly, though, to be sure to soak in the essence of the Camino’s towns and scenery.

Vacation time is often synonymous with taking a break from everything. You might be escaping from work, responsibilities, a diet, or exercise, but it’s completely natural to put a routine aside while vacationing.

With that being said, some of us do look to keep up with at least some routines while traveling. One of the most popular daily habits that people look to continue while on vacation is that of exercising. These three tips will help you keep active and on track while on vacation with your exercise goals!

Find a Hotel with a Gym

If you are looking for accommodations for your trip and want to stay in a hotel, be sure to look for one with a gym. You can start your morning with a comprehensive workout in a nice facility before hitting the streets and enjoying your day.

Walk Instead of Taking Taxis or Public Transportation

While it might take a bit longer than taxis or using the subway or a bus, simply walking from destination to destination is a great way to keep yourself physically active while traveling. Not only that, but it will also help you save money!

Take Advantage of the Early Morning for a Run

Even if you aren’t staying in a hotel with a gym, there is something that you can do no matter what type of lodging you have. Before your traveling companions wake up and before the sites you want to visit open up for the day, start off your morning with a run around the city and jumpstart your day!

If you ask us, we think that exploring cities on foot is the best way to truly get a sense for a city’s environment and character.

With that being said, sometimes it really hurts your feet! Walking around on uneven, old sidewalks and streets can tear up your feet and make it painful to keep on exploring.

Fortunately, there are some strategies and tricks that’ll help protect your feet and keep you walking while traveling. Here are some useful tips to help protect your feet while exploring cities while traveling.

Bring Appropriate Footwear

If you’re going to be walking around a city, you need the right shoes for the occasion. You won’t want to trapeze 10 miles in a day while wearing flip-flops. Try to take appropriate shoes for walking on pavement, which could be anything from running shoes to a supportive slip-on.

Breathable Socks Are a Must

One common problem that results while traveling when walking a lot is blisters. These usually occur because your feet sweat and the wet skin rubs against the shoe, creating a blister. Breathable socks will help keep your feet dry and healthy while doing a lot of walking.

Recover with Foot Massagers

There are plenty of products available on the market that are portable and give your feet a nice massage at the end of a long day. Taking one with you will help cure foot pain and keep you ready for plenty of walking.
