    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    What about “té con leche”?😀

    I enjoy a nice ‘cuppa tea’ with milk too but I’ve found it often difficult to order at a bar in Spain; HOWEVER…. whilst walking with friends last year …. One of them was familiar with what was available and had no problem at all asking and receiving tea (but without milk)…. It’s a refreshing...

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the CF for Teresa

    I’ll bet you amazed yourself. I’ve often ‘been there’ and thought ‘ how can I walk a stage tomorrow without any sleep ?’ But I somehow find the energy next day. I think the fact that we are ‘resting’ our bodies works the magic. I agree with @J Willhaus though… it’s lovely to have a private...

    Madrid City Walks

    …..take #2….. I went out without rain jacket and 10 minutes later the clouds and wind arrived 🙁 and a little rain. I decided that it might not be as pleasant as usual so headed indoors. …. So…. Have your plan B or C 😀.

    What do you wash your clothes with

    Yes Chrissy I usually bring both too. Often end up having to empty my travel size shampoo and conditioner before leaving Spain., because when in accommodation that provides it - I use it. Admittedly this time … I’ve messed up with flitting about trying to find drier trails with less mud and...

    What do you wash your clothes with

    Although I’m happy to use normal soap for washing clothes; after multi caminos , I still haven’t tried using same to wash my hair. I really will have to test it at home one day 🤪🤣

    Maybe a rude question! How old are you?

    Similar thought about responders. I rarely respond to polls but this one is pretty harmless.
