    COVID Masking on the Camino

    As others have said, there are no legal requirements anymore to wear a mask here in Spain but you are free to wear one and nobody will stare at you if you do. Personally I still wear a mask in enclosed spaces like shops, but not in the streets. SY

    Moorwalker - RIP

    @Moorwalker died today after a long illness, I so had hoped to meet here one day in person after we had so many exchanges here and on Facebook. May she rest in peace and may comfort be granted to her family and friends.

    Pilgrim in a little trouble looking for help

    @Moondance Take a breath, and break, first and check https://www.aaspain.org/ and find somebody to support you and THEN you can decide if/when/how you will/can follow your Camino. Hugs and all the best from Santiago! SY

    Help with blisters!

    I always use two pair of socks, one thin, one thicker and I tape with 'paper like' tape. Hope that helps! BC SY

    Help with blisters!

    Try this drink in Valencia

    Horchata - Love it! Just a bit of warning, don't drink too much of it in one go, you will need to 'go' for a while ;-) BC SY

    Do you remember how big the little description plaque was? The one at the foot of the cross? Something like 4 or 5 cm square? BC SY

    What is the size of the Cruz de Ferro cross kept in the Astorga museum?

    Does anybody here know or could you find out (perhaps in a book you have?) what the measurements of the Cruz de Ferro are? I mean the actual cross, which is now in the museum in Astorga. I have already contacted them but they were so not helpful! Many Muchas Gracias in advance, SY
