    How very dare a tourist campsite/lodge resort, with a small supermarket and cafe attached, charge a few extra euros in areas of income production to help with the areas of its business which are solely expenditure driven. Like all businesses it...

    "... I ordered breakfast in Spain without first looking at their price list or asking to see it and it was more expensive than I had assumed"? I nearly forgot. There is of course a better idea than writing to Brussels. It is making use of the...

    Thank you, @JabbaPapa. Finally, after 60+ posts, there is a post by somebody who has been to the restaurant O Muino Camping/Bungalow park and who can say something about how their prices compare to prices in other establishments in the area. It...

    When I walked the Portuguese Camino in 2022 I had the worst dinner experience at a place recommended by the owner of the pensión where II stayed. Overcooked, overpriced, and rude service. But the next day I had this absolutely delicious dinner...

    Day 11! Today we woke up feeling extremely unmotivated, but knew we had to somehow complete about 14 miles (22 km) from Redondela to Pontevedra. We went for a light breakfast at the Cafe-Bar Ruada, just up the street from Atico48, and then were...
