Agreed.
However, the path was frequently soiled around the edges of farmers' fields from human excrement. On hot days, the stench was overpowering.
People passing through and not abiding by "leave no trace" rule of hikers was abhorrent. A trowel and bags to collect take mine -- the only way.
I also had a bad experience with the woman who was running Orbison. I was very late walking and needed to change my reservation to the following night. I’d already paid in full. Oddly, nobody answered the phone - and the following day when I arrived, the woman wouldn’t even discuss the matter...
Thank you, John Brierley for your writing the Camino guide. When I walked the French Way ten years ago, I relied on your guidance and because of it had a life-changing, wonderful experience.
How do I find out about signing up for training in the U.S.? Obvs it would have to be for next year. I walked the Camino from SJDP ten years ago and have my passport to prove I stayed in albergues.
Thanks, all,for the info -- particularly about the fish nibbling pedicure! With it being questionable hygenically, will give that a miss.
Anyone had experience with excellent conventional pedicures in Santiago?
Thanks,
Judith
