    Beds in First Stage Albergues - Current Situation

And seeing it again in Zubiri. And again as far up as Portomarin. People who want to take a chance will reap...

All the locals I have spoken with insist it’s been a crazy Spring with some days 80° and the next day in the 30s. A lot of people are sick. Walking...

    If You Are Sick

    This irritates me - because I have not been able to walk since Puente La Reina because one of my pilgrims, who is a nurse by the way, showed up sick and didn’t tell anybody and wrote the taxi with us to SJPP. She did not wear a mask. As a result, I got sick and two of my pilgrims got sick and...

    Help! Hospital/Doctor Sarria

    I realize this is an old thread, but one of my pilgrims looks like he’s developed cellulitis and I need to get him to a doctor in Sarria. Is this place still open and is Centro de Salud where I should start?

    Pork in Spain

    Whatever. We had delicious pork chops at the green corner in Leon. I wouldn’t call it particularly upscale.

    Pork in Spain

This year I’ve had more than one person in my group complain because the pork they ordered was “raw” and they have sent it back to be cooked to well done.
