Hello, I am researching the Sanabrés and have discovered that since the AVE construction is complete, this section from Requejo to Padornelo has a new route available along the Requejo River. Our last time here we were forced to walk on the N-525 national highway this entire section and even...

I was very surprised to see this boxed wine from Spain, in our small little liquor store in Pueblo, Colorado! Didn't know if this type of thing was readily available elsewhere in the USA. Not only is it boxed, but it is organic. It is from Jumilla, which I had to look up, that is in the SE area...

I have read some accounts of pilgrims completing this route, but have never seen such a great write up of it. Here it is! 200 km, eight stages from Malpica to Finisterre. The video is lovely. A short alternative to the Camino del Norte? Walk backwards to Santiago afterward? Lots of ideas...
