    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    It really depends on how much water you drink of course but it was July and I go through a moderate amount of water in a day. Had I thought about it I would have carried my water filter with me, that would have worked well on the first part of day one. It would easily have saved me carrying a...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    Yes, both days I carried a full three litres of water and needed it, plus food for the day. Many have said it's 25 kilometers, myself and a Dutch mother and daughter both measured it at over 28 to Friol. Beautiful. I saw a total of four other pilgrims, not on the Camino itself but at dinner in...

    Camino Verde from Primitivo ..

    @sunflowers, I walked the Verde on July last year, beautiful. I simply followed the excellent information provided by @Telelama , ( post 14) and the green arrows. Post in thread 'Camino Verde trail conditions?'...

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    No, not unreasonable, I think you’ve covered both sides rather well. Tolerance and steps to mitigate the problem.

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    Wow, they’re not so easy to see, I really had to search in your photo to find it 😅

    Pork in Spain

    Yes, I saw pheasant, hare and deer along the Primitivo too, no Partridge unfortunately. I only saw one hare but several deer on the Inglés in April last year. It's not surprising that deer are an issue here in Germany as well, I have seen deer from my balcony in the empty lot beside me in the...

    Pork in Spain

    Yes, as I understand it it's rapidly becoming as big a problem for the UK as it has been for New Zealand for decades. Whilst both Roe and Red deer are native to the UK the others- Fallow, Chinese water deer, sika and muntjac are not. I recall reading recently that whilst there is a control...

    Pork in Spain

    Funny, I would never have thought of the shot, I use a 22. I've only ever used a shotgun for ducks!

    Pork in Spain

    Yes I have had a similar experience, personally I prefer to cook mine without the heads. My favourite recipe involves lots of butter, fatty bacon bits, onions, thyme, Bay leaves and a full bottle of red wine, which produces a very rich dark sauce much like you describe. Slow cooked over many...

    Pork in Spain

    As many of you will know the only mammals native to New Zealand are two species of bat. Everything else has been introduced by humans, the vast majority by Europeans in the last 200 years. Because of the lack of natural predators a number of these animals - and a few large birds - have become...

    Some great photos, thanks for sharing!

    Start where we are or walk the extra distance to the edge of Irún?

    There is no right or wrong answer to this. But you asked "what would you do"? The simple answer is: I'm there to walk, so I would walk. What's 3 km more when you're going to walk 800. Buen Camino!

    Too Many Qs! Credencial/sleeping bag/training/albergues

    @Mrna , welcome to the forum. 1/ Credencial: Readily available at the Oficina Municipal de Turismo e de Atención ao Peregrino at the Port (starting point), according to Google it's open 8 until 13.00 daily. 2/ in April '23 I just carried a silk liner, but I sleep warm so each to their own...

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    That of course as usual depends on a number of factors, not the least of which being budget. It also depends on the type of person you are. Are you somebody that always needs mental stimulation or are you quite happy sitting and relaxing on a beach. Do you prefer rural, a small town, or big...

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    I'd forgotten about this! Decades ago I had a French girlfriend and we visited her family for Christmas. After several days her mother did exactly that, (chabrot). Initially the family expressed shock, she simply pointed out that I was like family and should be treated as such. Where upon...
