    Buying poles in Porto

    When you get to the sports store, think about 1 pole and an umbrella cane, it's my go to walking stick, sunshade, rain shield & privacy when people are around and I got to go!

    Meseta sandals?

    Warning! Alert to women doing the Camino alone near Logroño - Please share

    I'm sorry to hear that and hope your daughter is doing better. That's disgusting. Even for me solo@ 66 I would have beat his willy with my stick, sprayed him with my dye mace and marked him for a week. The police would surely find him. Normally I am a passive Christian. This is an outrageous...
