    Ordering beer in Spain

    Although I usually drink beer during the day I do like a glass of wine at night. I usually just got a glass of wine but never thought of them being different sizes because they all seemed the same. So the question is, does wine by the glass come in different sizes.

    So true. I didn't on my first Camino, wish I had. I Start my second Camino May 12 and have been doing lots of walking already but with no pack. But next week the pack goes on and the hill training starts. Being 65 on my first Camino those hills just about did me in.

    Have you used Aíralo?

    I didn't mind the installation so much but it was the constant checking every day that I had not lost it. I leave in 6 weeks so I think I'll give Airalo a try. Thanks Anne

    Have you used Aíralo?

    Wise Pilgrim or Buen Camino or both?

    I have both Buen Camino and Wisepilgrim app along with google maps. Also use Gronze at the start of each day to decide if there are any variants that day I want to walk and were they start. Its not like it takes a long time to look at an app.

    Where to find unique and handmade gifts on the Camino Frances?

    He was also very nice, taking the time to take the earring out of the box and polish them with a cloth and put them back in and sealed the box with a sticker with the name of the store on it.
