  sunrise5am reacted to Undermanager's post in the thread Finally - real food in Santiago!!! with Like.
  
  Round the corner and up the hill from the Pilgrims Office in Santiago, about 50m away, is the Faculty of Medicine's huge cafeteria that must be able to seat between 200 and 300 people. They have a tiny blackboard sign at foot level on the main...

  As a snorer, I would suggest you take earplugs, or stay well clear of dorm accommodation. Repeatedly shaking me awake in the night doesn't change my snoring habit, as was tried on my last Camino. I take spare earplugs so in extremis I can give...

  My favourite was turning left off the Camino (Somport variant) between Borse and Urdos, and going up the Chemin de la mature. It's a truly amazing path, literally hacked out of a 200m+ sheer cliff face (la ravine d'enfer). Depending on whose...

  The entire route of the Camino de Santiago on Gran Canaria. Short but very impressive. Starts at sea level, rises up through steep rocky mountains to 1800m, then back down through forest and open hillsides to sea level again in less than 80km...

  sunrise5am reacted to Paul-CH's post in the thread 20km asphalt on stage 20 (out of Salamanca)? with Like.
  
  As far as my Garmin shows. its about 2km out of Salamanca. Then it's a small path alongside the N-630 in the Gras and alongside a bike-route. You can check on google maps with satellite view. After 6km it's mostly on dusty farm roads.

  On Google Maps, there is a review of the pueblo by a pilgrim unhappy with not being able to get breakfast there. The review is accompanied by a photograph of a sign a services in the town. On the bottom left hand corner of the sign there is a...

  Hi, it's not on Gronze, but it is on the Salamanca Tourist Office website. Tried ringing the number given, but no answer. Sent a message to the tourist office, but no reply...is the albergue there, and open? It's tomorrow I may need it

  Does Salamanca to Cuba del Vino (stage 20) involve 20km on tarmac, on the N-630? Or does the Camino run as a separate track, alongside (not on!) the asphalted road, and this more comfortable for the feet?

  A lot of the infrastructure and economic advancement has been, and continues to be, paid for by taxpayers in Northern Europe via transfers from the EU. For example under the Recovery Plan Spain's received over €30bn, and will get €10bn more...

  sunrise5am replied to the thread Backpack size.
  
  Decide what you want to take, how heavy you want it to be, and go from there. It all depends on you. As for me: Normally I'd take a 33l Osprey for winter trekking in mountains, so more than adequate for a Camino (for me). It also fits most...
