What do you wear to Comino?

Comino has very few facilities and little shade or shelter. It's hot, dry and dusty, so if you plan to explore take plenty to drink and wear good sun protection. For swimming in the Blue Lagoon be sure to take your swimwear too.

5. Stick To A Schedule. We recommend starting your Camino training at least three months in advance, with the aim of walking three 1 hour sessions a week. A month before your trip, even earlier if you can, put a day walk in each weekend into the mix to build the endurance you'll need for your walk.

After having fun with the locker, you will need to shower before going into the lagoon. It is compulsory to shower and wash with soap.
