    0.0 and Sin Alcohol

    It's been big in Andalucia for many years, where people of all ages drink beer in the searing heat. Tastes so much better from the grifo (tap) than the bottle

    Pros and cons early April central from Porto

    We did it that time this year. We were incredibly lucky with the weather & walked in shorts! The route was very quiet; it felt like we were some of the first of the "season". However, it was clean, peaceful, unspoilt and local business owners were really happy to see us!

    Accommodation in Pontevedra

    Can recommend the Ruas hotel/restaurant. We stayed there 2 nights in March and found them super friendly and helpful.

    Restaurants in Santiago post covid-lockdown

    I heartily recommend lunch at Nave 5 in the mercado de abastos (covered market). Haul up a stool for one of the best food and wine experiences ever....

    Wine geeks on Camino

    I second your comment about Abastos 2.0 - I would urge anyone who loves food/wine to head to the covered market and pull up a stool - you will not be disappointed!

    Discarded face masks

    Was really shocked by this in March this year. Up until this point I had been pleasantly surprised by the lack of rubbish on the trail....it was so very disappointing and really blighted the entry to Compostela

    September Porto to Santiago central route

    I remember feeling pretty confused (& quite frustrated with the Ninja app) on that stretch. But well done, you made it!

    September Porto to Santiago central route

    I'm not 100% certain this is the name of the place, but the boardwalk just ends and you have to walk on the sand for quite some time. (It was very foggy on the day we did this section, which added to the confusion!)

    September Porto to Santiago central route

    I walked a combo of the littoral and the coastal. You are correct, the coastal does veer inland in part, whereas the littoral is following the ocean.
