    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    My post was a tongue in cheek answer to @pjacobi. Enjoy your Camino but @CWBuff is right. The Camino is no fluffy Disneyland but overall you will meet wellmeaning people with time to time some lesser nice encounters. Bit like life itself ;) .

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?
