    Using a waterproof roll-top camping bag as a washing machine does work well. I also usually do the stomping on the dirty clothes in the shower but do this as a pre-wash and then the laundry chore is easier as the clothes are already half cleaned. But, yea, check the state of the shower first!

    Cycling from Montserrat

    My flight to Barcelona is booked! I'll start biking my Camino from Montserrat 2 May 2014. Does anyone have any opinions on the choice between the southern route via Zaragoza or the northern route via Huesca?
