    Business ideas? - Just for fun!

    What’s so great about a Costco breakfast burrito?

    I arrived in Santiago and didn't see a single pilgrim.

    My wife and I walked from Ourense to Santiago on the Sanabres at the end of September, beginning of October 2018. Wonderful walk. Quiet for pilgrims and days filled with multiple bridges, a monastery, glorious vistas and shady vines. Great memories.

    Lunch in Madrid

    I lived in Madrid for close on 5 years, not too far from the barrio where the station is… someone mentioned head to Plaza Castilla, where you’ll find plenty of choice including El Molino (https://maps.app.goo.gl/mBArwJ9voYifJHSz8?g_st=ic) Highly recommended for a range of Castilian food, and the...

    Getting from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid

    Consider the bla bla car service as an alternative. As you can see it’s reasonably priced, and you’ll have an opportunity to chat to a Spaniard in a convivial circumstance.

    Graffiti - CYMRU AM BYTH

    As an anglo-Welsh Celt, agree with the disdain. Not pleased to see such poor judgement in an individual. Afraid I don’t have the means to remove it. I wish I did. Crazy Kim should seek help! (Photo:Past Villafranca, before Trabadelo)

    Outdoor/gear store in Burgos? Monday hours?

    Take the free bus from outside the theatre to Hipercor, which has a Decathlon next door. Alternatively there are a couple of Base stores, one being a short walk from the bus station. Buen camino!

    Comment by 'adrianflude' in media 'I passed on the offer...I should had take it! (at Las Herrerias)'

    Best plan is to stay at Albergue Las Herrerias, get up early and see the sunrise on the way!

    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    Could be because they are a very popular choice due to price, availability etc. but I know what you mean!

    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    The bedding in is one thing, but I have seen so many peregrinos sitting resting for 20 mins+ with their boots on! IMHO crazy! If you're going to stop for anymore than 15 minutes, my main comment is that the rest/air/ change sock routine is vital. If you're not going to change at that specific...

    Disappointed with my hiking shoes

    Here are my Meindl Borneo full boot with calf leather inners, after +/- 1000kms of camino walking in between May and July 2012...couldn't fault them! But it's all in the preparation - bedding in and then good management of your feet; and not forgetting your socks! Liner and thicker sock, stop...
