@NancyLee , with two full weeks of walking you could comfortably walk the Primitivo. That way you're not having to break things up with public transport in between, which personally I find really disturbs my rhythm, let alone the sense of... -
JerryStroebele replied to the thread Weather in November on the Frances and the Portugues.My favorite time is late September and early October. As henrythedog said in November the rain can be biblical. Your first Camino should be a pilgrimage, yes, but how many sins must you walk off cold, wet and muddy? Take a lease on life and...

I’ve often walked in November. Accommodation availability is reduced - but more than sufficient. It’s rarely too warm to walk - and as it’s darker in the mornings and evenings you don’t have to get up at stupid o’clock to avoid the heat... -
I'm sure this info has already been shared, but here's an update: the Tuna are still working their magic under the arches in the Praza Obradoiro (facing the catehdral) in the evenings. I was there two nights ago. I'm guessing as of 10pm onwards...

Hello, cycling the Camino del Norte at this very moment. I'm with my son who's 18 years old and started our journey in Hendaye. We are now in Santander and reading your post while charting our best way to Santimlana del Mar and figuring out if...

I return my cups and glasses in Frankfurt quite often, and I did it in Spain quite often too. Especially in the small places where only 1, maybe 2 people were working. Always got a Gracias in return. Is it needed? No, but just something nice to do.

If the bar is busy, sure I'll bring them to the bar regardless if I might look a bit daft. It's the nice, kind thing to do. Also, have worked in restaurants for many, many years. In our view, it's always appreciated.
