    Leg, foot rashes: Purpura (?)

    If you’re susceptible to this, try putting your feet up several times during the day (on a chair or bench). When you finish your hike, take your shoes/socks off and put your feet up over your head (on a headboard, wall, tree, doesn't matter-just so it's above your heart). I've only had this...

    Inside the Parador is a lovely gift shop and you can't go wrong with something from Sargadelos.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Delta Airlines just cancelled my trip!

    In the screenshot of the message you received it says the "fastest option" is to cancel and receive an e-credit..." but there are more options if you want a refund to your original form of payment-it will just take much longer. If you want to simply change dates, do that within the app as...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Forum Members and COVID-19 Illness

    Late last month I suddenly lost my sense of taste and smell. Sudden anosmia has been reported in asymptomatic carriers. I had no other symptoms of Covid-19 and was ineligible for a test. I self-quarantined for 2 weeks. Husband showed no symptoms. Likely I caught it while flying March 15-17 or...

    Cooking/Eating too much while in quarantine !!!

    Husband and I are traveling virtually while at home. Pick a country, make a meal from there, play some appropriate music and enjoy while reminiscing about our travels there. Some delicious ones have been anything Italian, chicken tikka masala, enchilada casserole, and blueberry scones with lemon...

    Shell for backpack

    When I walked from Ferris in May 2019 there were maybe two souvenir shops selling overpriced (€5) shells. I'd heard on a podcast there was a self-service shell stand that operates on a donativo basis some kilometers outside of Ferrol. Sure enough, an hour or two outside town we came across a...

    a Coruna accommodations

    I stayed at Hostal Alboran in May 2019 and found it as Trecile said: in a great location and with a more modern look.

    Vueling Airline

    I've flown fueling to/from the Camino, to/from Morocco, and several flights to/from Rome and Dubrovnik. I always take their “mid-range” package that includes a checked bag and assigned seat. The staff know they are no frills and don't have much to offer in service, but are very professional and...

    Santiago for Dinner

    I’ve been here three time and absolutely love their tapas. Great with a group and affordable as well. The razor clams are wonderful.

    Pontedeume.

    The beauty of walking the Ingles in May '19 was it was blissfully cool while climbing those hills in the morning! The downside was it was too cold to go swimming in Mino and rained much of the time I was in Pontedueme. Buen Camino!
