    Coffee in Spain

    Rest assured, they drink coffee in Spain too! As to the finding of it, in fact the daily search for your morning brew borders on a mini pilgrimage in its own right. Just wake, up hit the road & follow the arrows. Like with everything else you need, the Camino delivers.

    Jobs on the Camino

    please tell me what I can leave behind

    the kitchen sink oh, & I met a Canadian woman who'd brought a ball gown. not kidding. you could probably leave that at home too... Do you know Decathlon?? It's a massive outdoorsy store, French I think, dotted about all over Europe. You could walk in wearing just your skids & come out fully...

    Am sure there's a better way to do this - just don't know what it is so have cut'n'pasted post from another thread cos I can never find my way back. & the shoe debate is an important one to stay informed on: R.I.P Patagonias Best I've ever worn: lightweight; strong; reinforced stitching...

    Need help with shoe debate

    That said, a pair of jandals tucked away somewhere for when the day's done are worth their weight in gold - just don't wear them crossing the Pyrenees!

    Need help with shoe debate

    R.I.P Patagonias Best I've ever worn: lightweight; strong; reinforced stitching; breathable; leather & gortex; vibram soles; rubber toe cap; super comfy... Tragically, Patagonia don't manufacture them anymore, or I'd have bought up a few pairs. Have hiked a lot, done 3 caminos, worn a range...

    As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

    “I felt it was for this I had come: to wake at dawn on a hillside and look out on a world for which I had no words, to start at the beginning, speechless and without plan, in a place that still had no memories for me.” ― Laurie Lee, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning

    Eating on the Camino

    I found in Portugal the way to a belly full of happiness was best accomplished by wandering into one of the many low key back street tipico bar/restaurants & starting a conversation about food. Recommendations & tasting plates follow soon after, & when you leave that little place you are...
