Nice to know you are all around. I left freezing Pamplona this morning and went to Eunate. It is beautiful. Peaceful and simple. Swallows have made a nest in the church I believe. They were swooping down and I heard the babies. Magic -

MYes, Nikis is your best bet. When I was walking the Portugués, I was once served a beer in an Estrella Galicia glass with a 'La Casa de Papel'/ 'Money Heist' design. Never have I wanted to nick a beer glass more. Luckily my lightweight rucksack...

MHi, Buen Camino! 1. Nope, not mental in any way at all - getting up in the middle of the night and booking to go next day is not wildly uncommon. You can 'train' on Camino by starting with short days and building up - ignore the 'day stages' in...
