MesaWalker reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread Looking for Books on the Arab Occupation of Spain with Like.
You would have to try really hard to find a Spanish history book which doesn’t address these subjects. I’ve just finished Giles Tremlett’s Brief History of Spain (in Spanish) and it’s well described - and surprisingly different to the...

MesaWalker replied to the thread Wet hiking shoes.Two comments. Non- waterproof shoes dry out much faster walking than wet waterproof shoes. And if good socks and well-fit shoes, wet shoes were no problem for my wife and me, but only in mild weather conditions. Wet and cold (maybe sub-50...
