...and there are also flights to San Sebastian (the airport of which being actually in Hendaye, on the border, so you can start your walk from the airport door!). A couple of years ago at least Iberia (http://www.iberia.com) flew to SS. As a connecting flight from BCN the cost would be next to...
Hi,
stumbled accross this http://www.segundamano.es/vi/5864749.htm?ca=31_s on the net. Has been for sale for a while now. Don't know exactly where it is but seems to be located somewhere in the Leon region.
If my memory serves me correct, there's the choice of "spiritual reasons" (vs. "religious reasons") which is also "hassle-free". In my view, "spiritual" and "religious" are far apart.
Haven't used it for washing clothes. However, in my case (a short hair, daily wash) the estimate of 60-80 washes sounds really low. I mean, after about 50 washes the bar still had about two thirds left.

TIA,
Just yesterday I was reading a book written by a Finnish lady who had done the Camino in 2003 I think. After a long & tedious day's walk, upon arriving at the refugio in Burgos, they meet a lady they had left befind earlier that day. The lady had taken the bus and was telling the Finn & her...
I had a 70 l backpack on my first Camino - just enough for all the stuff I needed. I'm taking the same one on my next Camino, too, and it'll be almost full.
The 10 percent rule is worth thinking about - in the sense that why and how and for whom and by who has that rule been written. Otherwise...
But because it contains eucalyptus oil, it does not decompose. Not easily, anyway. Nor do pretty much any kind of bugs or larvae eat eucalyptus. These things lead to he eucalyptus forests being almost dead: no birds, very little undergrowth if any. A shame.
