[QUOTE="Umwandert, post: 1059454, member: 94324"] Thank you everyone for your kind replies. I am impressed by the huge number of qualified comments. It seems that every question has been answered already by fellow forum members. Just a few additional remarks by the OP, which hopes to quote in the right way: The ticks were really small and it took me some time to get them out completely. The day after in Mieres I found a third one which must have been hiding the evening before. I was worried a bit and called my sister, who works as a vet assistant. She confirmed, that unlike in Central Europe there is no tick-borne encephalitis in Spain, but of course there could be other problems. I watched the bites for one week but there was no red ring developing and they slowly disappeared. A week later in the albergue of Soto de Luiña I met a Spanish pilgrim, who went to the Centro de salud after a tick bite. In the end it was harmless. If I remember this right, according to his Salvador live thread [USER=77691]@jungleboy[/USER] survived the Munistiriu with 6 ticks, so 3 of them seemed to be quite a good outcome ;-) Thanks a lot, I was thinking about sharing some entertaining "mishaps and memorable moments" from my Norte experience shortly. Besides all the important technical and guiding stuff on this forum I enjoy personal stories a lot (especially when the pilgrim is confronted with a problem and finds creative ways to solve it). Probably other forum readers enjoy them too. Oh Elle, I was aware of your report, that's why I felt quite embarrassed. I really should have listened better to your advice. But I felt momentarily good at my break in Llanos and so my story went further.... But with only 2 caminos under my belt I feel still like a rookie and am still learning. If I would do the Salvador again (possibly in May again, as I loved the weather) I would definitely stop in Llanos de Someron and enjoy the Munistiriu in the morning the day after. I would only add to jungleboy's morals in a nutshell: Be aware of the elevation profile, especially in the latter half of your chosen stage and if possible obtain information about the surface too. I knew about the 50 km distance between the supermarkets in Pola de Gordon and Campomanes, so I bought a lot in Pola (in my post I mixed Pola de Gordon with Pola de Lena, of course bread and cheese came from the little supermarket in Pola de Gordon). I was lucky to arrive just before siesta time. If closed I would have tried to ask in a bar for sandwiches or other food to carry. I think magwood did this if I remember her blog right. And to conclude this post: In Pola de Lena on day number 4 I was recognized by a fellow forum member. I had posted nothing yet and had only given my start date on the Salvador. He had seen this and asked me whether I am from Hamburg. I think he was from Denmark (sadly I don't know his name), we had a nice little chat and he gave me a precious information I was not aware of: On sundays the cathedral in Oviedo is closed, so of course there is no Salvadoriana issued. As I reached Oviedo on a Sunday I had to wait one more day but I needed rest days anyway. [/QUOTE]
