    timr reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
    My humble opinion: If exceptions are made it only increases the number of people who believe that they, too, are exceptional. I already start to regret my participation in this thread. 😶 Maybe it would indeed be better if everybody believed that...

    This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link.

    There is something soothing in reading a paper book. And there are certainly ( pocket) books available in some albergues to swap/ read. I would not bother though, not for hygienic reasons ( after all we survive when we go to a library and there...

    Never say never! Walking from the Liola Sanctuary back onto the Norte, someone had installed a barbed wire fence directly across the marked GR path. Very obvious where the path was, but because so few actually walk that route, someone must have...

    There’s a first time for everything! My options can be a bit limited but pan con tomate (with freshly squeezed orange juice, as I’m not a coffee drinker) has always been my favourite Spanish breakfast, and it always makes me feel as though I am...

    I found Jeffrey Barrera’s guidebook to the Camino de Madrid helpful when I walked it in late September last year. Whatever it didn’t cover the forum filled in the blanks. When walking the Buen Camino app and Gronze were also useful. It’s a...

    timr reacted to Rex's post in the thread Laundry on the Francigena with Thank you Thank you.
