    I’m on the Aragonés now and I’m struggling to figure out how to see the monasteries without killing myself on the dangerous path! I’d also really rather not take a taxi any more than I have to. How about this: from Jaca I walk on the camino path...

    @Charles Ross , I feel for your partner and yourself. It’s rough. I’m currently in hospital with exactly the same issue. Two days ago I was walking the Jakobsweg (Camino) here in Germany, with just one and a half days to go. Trod on a concealed...

    I and my Partner set out from Porto March 16th with the intention of reaching Santiago on or about April 1st. We reached Tui, checked into a hotel and went out to dinner. On the way back to the hotel, my partner slipped on the sidewalk and...

    They are not ridiculous devices if it allows women to pee discretely and standing up just like men do. Without taking down their pants. It also cuts down the TP litter plus all the 1000s of plastic bags needed for this TP if it is to be carried...
