    Hi everyone again. Thanks for your comments. To clarify one thing — I’m not going for a vacation. I’m going to a physically and mentally hard path, to find answers to my questions. I know a lot about this path, credentials and so on, because...

    Introibo reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread Clearing Customs in MAD with Like Like.
    This video describes a typical flight from the USA to Santiago de Compostela with transit in Madrid. (I think that the flights from Madrid to Santiago depart from corridor K in zone H,J,K in terminal T4 ). So you land in terminal TS4, go...

    Introibo reacted to Kirkie's post in the thread Language questions with Like Like.
    C'mon, give us a clue. Here in Dublin on the Luas I hear something in Gaelic that sounds like African Shop. It means get off at the next stop for the main street shops! 😇 Squirrel ink? Have I been so far gone from Kirkintilloch that I have lost...

    Introibo replied to the thread Language questions.
    When in Motherwell, which is only 50 miles up the road from where I live, I tried to order a breakfast only to be baffled by the option of "squirrel ink". I overcame the language barrier by pointing. When I was in Ferrol I wandered into Tourist...

    Hi all! Once again I am heading back to Spain; this time to walk much of the Sanabres with my son; starting in Rionegro del Puente after a few sightseeing days first in Salamanca and Zamora. I'm hoping for good weather, but I always come...

    Introibo reacted to Antnix1's post in the thread Botafumerio out of service with Like Like.
    It takes 8 people to swing it (not saying they're paid but that doesn't mean it should be free). Then you have the cost of maintenance, cleaning, coals/incense, insurance, and if it generates a bit of income so be it. I've heard people getting...

    Ah Mahou. If I'd known I was going to be so thirsty this morning, I'd have drunk even more Mahou last night ;)

    Camelback do a similar tube attachment for their Eddy bottles. They work really well. One of the big pluses of having a water bottle outside your pack is ease of access for top ups as you come across fountains. Frequent refreshes give you...

    Introibo reacted to Vacajoe's post in the thread Afraid of top bed without fence with Like Like.
    While it seems scary, it’s the same as sleeping in the bottom bunk space wise. So ask yourself, how often do you fall out of bed usually?!?! My guess is never, so the fact that you are elevated five feet up does not increase that risk. It’s...

    I am 68 and walked solo Porto to Santiago. I got so much wrong, but so much right too. I had trained - somewhat. I began 27 March in run up to Easter and walked into terrible weather on Coastal route. Poncho ripped in the 40 kms wind day one...
