      basquelady reacted to LTfit's post in the thread Civil war memorials with Like Like.
      Wounds that aren't treated, fester and grow. These wounds still run deep for a reason. And indeed they do. Much depends on which side you or your family were on during the Spanish Civil War. Talk to a Galician (I had such conversations this...

      basquelady reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread Civil war memorials with Like Like.
      This is an interesting remark. I am outsider here on the forum in the sense that the little I know about recent Spanish history is not primarily formed by English language movies, books and news media. I say this without any criticism, just an...

      basquelady reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Why was my post edited? with Love Love.
      Sorry to @MickMac and others who may be confused by this. What you describe is not what is happening. You and others write “alburgue” in the text. When I see it, I change it to “albergue” in the text of your message and edit your post...

      Glad you are ok. That must have been a scary moment. I always stop when a car is going past me. Though I walk facing traffic, there are some roads where the curves and lack of berm are such that I cross the road til I get around the curve and...

      Although the track going to Rabanal is not steep, part of it has been hacked out from the adjoining wood. My husband tripped on a tree root on our first camino in 2013, hitting his head on a rock, on the way down. Messy business. However, as we...

      Hola, have reached Villar de Mazarife after a great first day, about 16 miles, 22km. Mine was a sparsely followed path and only saw a handful of other people. Feel good after a brief rest 😊. Am hungry and will be asleep by 10 I’m sure ...

      I arrived at Alea walking on the paved road.

      basquelady reacted to MarkEveleigh's post in the thread Food glorious Food with Wow Wow.
      Some wonderful recommendations in this post! There are only two regional delicacies (albeit from the Via de la Plata) that I'd prefer to wipe from my memory: 1) stewed cock's combs in El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino 2) nuggets de oreja (pig-ear...

      basquelady reacted to Robo's post in the thread Food glorious Food with Like Like.
      LOL. They do tend to look the same after a while :) But rather than suggest specific foods, I would make two comments. At lunchtime (main meal) look for the Menu del Dia rather than Pilgrim Menu. It is often only 2-3 Euros more, but the...

      basquelady reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Food glorious Food with Like Like.
      I can but if you want to try them you’ll need to know what they’re known as locally. Morcilla de Burgos: a blood pudding made with a high proportion of rice rather than oatmeal. Usually sliced and charred on a plancha / griddle. Pulpo: Octopus...
