How to Prevent Blisters on the Camino de Santiago | Pain Free Trekking

How to have a blister free Camino.

These are methods I have used to succesfully walk the Camino Frances and the Camino Portuguese Central route, back to back, without getting a single blister. I've developed this knowledge through trial and sometimes painful error over the years.
