  I never visited the USA or Canada and I will most likely never travel to these countries. But I travelled through alot of European countries. Being a waiter is in most European countries a proper job with a proper wage and decent social security...

  I don't think the tipping culture like in the US exists anywhere else. In that it forms a large part of the staff income as I understand? (correct me if I'm wrong, but in 30-40 countries I have never come across it) In Spain, as elsewhere. I...

  Hola, as mentioned above, thankfully restaurants/bars in Spain do not expect a tip, especially from pilgrims. I go with the "rounding up" philosophy. Or if the coffee and snack was E4.00 and I pay with a E5 note I might indicate to keep the...

  I can’t help you identify a podiatrist, but I would suggest that you stop into a pharmacy. In my experience in both Spain and Portugal, pharmacists are very knowledgeable when it comes to maladies suffered by pilgrims. On my first Camino, I was...

  I’ve been the Albergue San Roque twice and it was amazing. The hospitality, cleanses, community food, donation based…all 12 out of 10, and it’s empty. No one’d like to walk in to check the availability because they don’t accept reservation?

  I know you didn't ask this, and you might already know, but... It is perfectly OK to start your Camino to Santiago from Roncesvalles (or even Pamplona). Most Spaniards consider Roncesvalles to be the starting point of the Camino Frances. The...
