    LIVE from the Camino Best fine dining

    La Esencia, la Puebla, Burgos. Amazing gourmet menu for 17 euro and the best wine. In the old town. Next door to the hotel Jacobeo. The best meal of the whole Camino! And I went back twice!

    Where can I buy permethrin spray in Holland?

    I got my permethrin no problem (Life Systems Anti mosquito clothing spray) on amazon uk. Impossible to get in Ireland. But readily available in any chemist in France from my research. Also apparently in Spain but from vets! I am awaiting less windy and wet Irish weather to spray on my pack...

    This should get you off the sofa and filling your backpack!

    Thank you so much David for posting this inspirational video. It has reinforced my decision to forsake family responsibilities and pack my backpack for my first Camino this coming April! I have just shared on Facebook. Not something I do often as it needs to be pretty extraordinary.

    The need for connection

    Hi Nuala How appropriate is this article! I thought when I read it in the newspaper of the act of you connecting with me through the forum to suggest meeting up and enabling me to try out the pacer poles you think so highly of! There are many ways to talk to people but In The first instance...
