      You've obviously never tried to bus The Camino. Autocarres, Monbus, ALSA and all the rest do their level best (masonic reference there ;)) to protect the purity of the Camino by ensuring that all their timetables are inaccessible, unintelligible...

      Landa, welcome to the forum. Whilst a walker myself I can understand that others like to ride. Unfortunately there are those on the forum that are not so keen on cyclists, and it can lead to a lot of unnecessary negativity. You don't mention...

      I live in Spain. I wear a hat just to walk the dog. A hat would be one of the first things I would pack. August will be hot and the sun intense.

      As back up I would take a roll of strong black bin bags and roll of tape. Usual process is to remove the front wheel, remove or twist handle bars and remove pedals. I have hydraulic disc breaks on the front and wedge a piece of plastic or...

      I think the problem is that there is no luggage or storage space for a bulky bike box on the train. Whilst a bag is a bit smaller and a bit more flexible. I’ve taken my bike on the coach within Spain several times but always wrapped in plastic...

      On thing I would say about Spain, in contrast with some other countries, is that there doesn't seem to be a big difference in prices between one bar and the next. There isn't the same mark-up that you might see in the UK, where going to a fancier...
