    Afghans on trees

    In NZ Afghans are choc biscuits with choc icing and a walnut on top. They are tasty and that's what caught my attention. The post, whilst having nothing to do with biscuits, was enlightening and funny.

    Recommended accommodation in Palas de Rei?

    How Hard is El Norte Really..?

    Hi Kanga, there is a lot of talk of hard surfaces. Does this mean walking on the hwy as opposed to country lanes like the Francis.

    A good use of your Camino Walking Sticks!!
