  Thanks but honestly, I'd have to look it up on Google and waste my time. I walked CF 4 times and coming back in 2025 but will not stop there. Good and lively discussion about the topic. I had ni idea it was tha "common". I guess I am naive...

  @Bedspring I agree with you being an active Google Maps Local Guide myself (level 10). I would leave a negative review which can really hurt a local business because many people will read your review and decide to give the bar a miss. If you...

  Yes same here. I do the route at least once a year as I'm a guide who does walking tours. It's a shame as all my groups love the Camino, it's so beautiful and full of symbolism.
