    I may be wrong but?

    Walked into Riego del Camino and called in Bar Pepe for a drink, with the intention of pressing on to Granja. The lady in the bar was most insistent that Granja was " completo" and I should stay in Riego It became apparent that the only source of food and drink was "Bar Pepe" which to put it...

    Why do some people insist on shutting windows?

    As an observation, certain European nationals must have the windows shut tight at night irrespective of the numbers sleeping in the same dorm! Even to the extent that they will get up in the early hours and quietly close them, honest! In the morning can you imagine the air quality. Perhaps...

    I'm putting together a plan for my upcoming Malaga - Finisterre camino and I've seen a reference to there being a option on day two, to go either Almogia - Villanueva and on to Antequera on day three, or Amogia - Antequera in one day. Google maps gives the distance between Almogia and Antequera...

    Fording streams.

    Hi all. I have found a warning on the Malaga association site that the pilgrim must be aware of the possibility of long detours because of flooded streams in the rainy season. The questions are I guess, where and when? Is there a serious risk? As there is a strong chance this will be a solo...

    On the French Way now, I can put up with the snores, the plastic bag rustlers, the megawatt headlights and the 0530am starters, but why oh why do certain people insist on closing the windows? Woke up several times now in what felt like a sauna!! Regards George
