    What mountains are near O Cebreiro ?

    The wiki page listed it as a comarca, i think that is where i got confused. It must be a mountain range and an administrative district/region https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_Ancares

    What mountains are near O Cebreiro ?

    That is where i got the initial info, but then i tried to find that Os Ancares mountain and it was listed more as a region. Maybe it is just a translation issue. Is it a plural series of mountains called Os Ancares

    What mountains are near O Cebreiro ?

    As you walk up that mountain range, are those mountains named ? I have heard O Courel, the Courel Mountains, Os Ancares, and the Iberian Massif for the greater area. Can anyone provide some clarity for this part of the trail please ?

    Spider bites?

    Do most people spray the permethrin on the INSIDE of their backpack? I know the bottle of permethrin said to do outside surfaces, like the outside of a sleeping bag and such. Do you think it does harm if you put it on the inside of packs and containers? Or even the inside of the sleep sack / bag?

    Hoka Alternatives with Similar Padding and heel-to-toe Drop?

    Just wanted to say Topo sucks. They are the new shoe company headed by Tony Post, the barefoot running huckster who made all kinds of false health claims about barefoot running and had to walk them back. My pair of Topos died after like 2-3 months of just wearing them to work. I ask for a...

    Attempted backpack theft

    I always wondered about that under bus storage. Usually the driver would get out at the stop but maybe i just had good drivers. I think someone took a few of my socks by accident. Or the dutch brothers at Roncesvalles lost them while spinning my clothes dry. Those spinners are amazing.

    Do Spaniards srsly eat this much tuna?

    I can't avoid the tuna. It is in tapa sandwiches. Salads. Even some cold pasta dish with boiled eggs and tuna, served cold. I'm done with tuna. How do I avoid it? And do Spanish really eat that much of it, or is it just a cheap ingredient to push on pilgrims?

    Paris to SJPDP - Train Delays due to Strikes and Protests?

    Any word on air strikes ? Like air traffic controllers or Air France? I fly via Paris the 28/29th then on to Biarritz. Train was my backup plan. I cannot read French but this website suggests a single airline Veuling strikes on April 28, 29, 30, and May 1st. I cannot find whether Air France will...

    Pilgrim office statistics from SJPDP - numbers up 33% on last year (Apr 2023)

    Is there any data on how many albeurges closed and did not reopen due to covid? I wondered if that could effect capacity but have only heard anecdotes of places closing for good after the economic hardship of covid.

    Yeah, for some reason it never asks me. Maybe I don't have it set up right. It cant even route me a walking path from SJPDP to Compostela, so maps.me may just suck for the Frances
