Like.
I am currently working as a Hospitalaro in a newly reopened Donativo Albergue in Vergen del Camino, just a short distance from Leon. It was closed for 5 years due to, initially the pandemic. It is sparkly clean and looking for wayward Pilgrims -
Isabelpilgrim reacted to oursonpolaire's post in the thread public transport on Camino Primitivo with Like.
Quite feasible. Buses are principally from towns, but usually stop in each village twice a day, to pick up passengers going into town, or to deliver them in the later afternoon. Diligent use of rome2rio.com will usually inform you, but if you...

Isabelpilgrim reacted to good_old_shoes's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino For those worried about beds... with Like.
...I am on day eight of walking the Francés at the moment. It is quite busy. A lot of talk about beds (and the need to book ahead). I don't book. Today I tried really hard not to get a bed. I really tried. Got up late. Took my time to pack...

When stopping at a bar/cafe for morning cafe con leche and slice of tortilla etc, I would generally order at the counter, wait for the items and then take them to a table. If the bar is not busy, often one is not charged upon ordering but rather...

It may seem odd but in rural areas and the smaller bars it is customary to offer a general salutation as you enter: “ ¡Buenos días! /Tardes” will do. Same with the bartender, a greeting before ordering “Buenas, Una Cerveza” @trecile beat me to...

Make sure that you start with a greeting, such as buenos días. I gained a lot of insight from this post from @MariaSP, who is Spanish:
