    Me too, Chrissy! We often find ourselves doing that ... even in non-Camino settings. Once a pilgrim ... If the bar person notices, it's usually met with either a thank you (in words or a nod) - or a (bemused) smile.😍

    Regarding returning empty cup and saucer to the counter. I'm always torn about this. Don't want to cause more work, etc. But this morning (on the Camino del Norte), we were leaving a busy bar and I left the cups on the table. My husband went...

    Maybe something like Logroño to Santo Domingo? Many people do that in just 2 days, but it could easily be stretched into 3 or 4 days if you are walking more slowly? Both cities are pretty easy to get to or get back to from Madrid. It's pretty and...

    The second bar principle is a good one in most places, but not I think in the instance above. The Bodega in Moratinos is a fine place and has excellent food, but it's not really a bar as such. The first bar, the Hostal Albergue Moratinos...

    If the coffee is particularly good, when leaving, I like to tell the barista how good I thought it was. Almost without fail this brings a happy smile. One time, on the Camino Finisterre, when we did that (raving about how great the coffee was)...
