      Tincatinker reacted to dougfitz's post in the thread Stomach Bug on Meseta with Like Like.
      Without any particular justification beyond Spain being a modern, highly developed, country, I think you could trust the public health arrangements. What I suspect is that one cannot trust pilgrims. In many years of watching this topic when it...

      I hope my experience might add something to this discussion. I live in a rural area, a small village, about two miles from a busy airport. Every year, with almost foreseeable timing, there will be an outbreak of norovirus or sickness and...
