    The Butofumeiro will it be displayed on 24th Of July or Just 25 Of July

    Does the Botafumerio always swing before the start of Mass? When we saw the Botafumerio swing, it was before the start of Mass on 8 December, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. If we had not been in the church at least 20-30 minutes before the official time to "start" we would have...

    Walking in November

    Ross, my husband and I walked from Vega de Valcarce to SdC last year Nov 26 (Thanksgiving in the States) – Dec 7. We took our time averaging 10 miles a day. Most of the time we walked alone and never saw more than a handful of other pilgrims at any one time. Those we did meet were wonderful...

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    Hecate.......Agreed! There are two good possibilities .... first, the package ultimately arrives and I take a picture to show off the beautiful hand hammered sculpture (correction noted) and have a way to identify and thank our storekeeper on this forum; second, a cautioned pilgrim can take...

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    All possibilities....but we walked out of the store into our Camino cloud with a receipt that recorded the transaction but NO name of the store, NO phone number, NO email address, and No tracing document for the mailing. We really own our share of this detour.

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    Falcon, Sound advise for those who are considering the act of home brewing. The concern of this thread was in regards to a purchase of lovely looking equipment, expectations, and the possibility of being duped. I would still :) love to hear of any other pilgrims who may have purchased...

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    Not a lawyer here. A still is also used is the production of perfumes....so maybe the equipment itself is not the issue. When we asked the gentleman if his product could be shipped to the US and California specifically, he said there were no problems. The only problem was with France.

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    Yes we have the bill but our copy of the receipt shows no name or address. Perhaps as others suggested the package will come and if it does, I will be back on this thread in celebration! Our Camino and the hospitality of those we met in Spain was a lifetime blessing and so I do not want...

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    Exactly! Our nephew is a chemical engineer and recently adopted home brewing as a hobby. We tasted such fantastic walnut and herbal liquors in Spain that a still seemed a perfect gift.

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    This came up during our purchase and we were advised the US has no restrictions and that only France would not allow their importation. We were shown a receipt on his desk for a similar purchase from a US pilgrim from the state of Virginia. It would be wonderful to hear the experience of...

    Copper Still bought in Arzua - be careful

    Our friend who is a native Spanish speaker called the two phone numbers we could find associated with this location and was told our transaction never took place.
