    Problems with Iberia and American Airlines (standby seats and lost luggage)

    In a nutshell.

    Gronze - Difficulty Ratings

    Completely agree. I wrote to Gronze after walking this stage in 2022, and said, are you sure, is it correct, it surely deserves at least ⭐️⭐️⭐️for difficulty. The response, at least I got a response was, and paraphrasing here: “take a hike”. See screenshot. Anybody agrees?

    Sarria Complementario alternative

    Which one is your favorite tree? 🥰 Yes, it’s magical, so many touching places in Galicia.

    Coffee

    FYI: this past May while searching for a coil with an EU plug found out some things: Illegal to buy in Spain. Legitimate electro doméstico shops are not allowed to sell them and face a large potential fine if they do. Even the “bazaar/tiendas de China” don’t sell them. I did find one in a hole...

    Best tape to prevent blisters

    Do you prefer these various tapes to moleskin? If so, why?

    The case for preserving the descent into Zubiri.

    This is so amazing. Thank you for doing this! Is it eroding besides the elements from the walking, poles, etc…? Do you see a way to preserve it? I’m fascinated by rocks and love your post, even if I don’t quite understand it.

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    Nick, here’s a description of Diomondi. It is wonderful outside & more spectacular inside. The albergue is a modern renovated space. Has a microwave & fridge. Need to bring your own food. It is gorgeous to sleep there at night. Eerie too, my bed was above some tombs. Hope you get to see it...

    Invierno Planning Questions 2024

    Yes, the facility is not at all flashy. The reason I stay here is because Manuel and his team are so good hearted and so invested in taking care of Peregrin@s. Hot water, comfortable beds, hearty food and tons of goodwill. On a hoped for repeat Invierno in October, I too will be following...

    Lost & Found Lost credential and earrings

    I now write my email and WhatsApp number on my credencial, por si acaso, just in case.

    Accommodation during El Camino de Santiago survey

    Suggestion: question regarding how to contact overnight lodging could be improved by adding WhatsApp as an option. This is frequently the best way to manage accommodations. Question: If you actually booked in advance is contradictory, there is no no need to answer question if you did not book in...

    A longer option for O Barco to A Rua

    Because Carmiña & Bruno are awesome humans, they run a comfortable albergue with everything you need, good food too, and a quick hike into Santiago in the morning. Looking forward to your Invierno. I’m planning a very similar course in October using Laurie’s great finds. I like staying at Bar...

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    Eeek!

    Laundry Masher

    Not a chance! Seems like an engraved invitation to get frisked. Not to mention the likely delay. I have a titanium shoulder replacement that creates no problem for TSA in the US. In Spain despite calling awareness to it, it always sets off security which entails wanding and more, despite that...

    How to get the soap residue out of socks

    Laurie, if your socks are dead, then, lucky for you, there are all sorts of sales going on right now. Darn tough are damn good and you could send them back for proper burial and they would send you new ones. Edit: perhaps it’s the 🦎 soap.😜

    Difficulty/ dangerousness/ albergues on the Primitivo?

    Show offs!!! 😂 I 💚Nonaya.

    Difficulty/ dangerousness/ albergues on the Primitivo?

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Difficulty/ dangerousness/ albergues on the Primitivo?

    I fear we have somewhat derailed this thread. Lots to think about: differences between waterfall and cascade and how important personal point of reference is. Falling water, so beautiful and a delight to find while walking.

    Difficulty/ dangerousness/ albergues on the Primitivo?

    Hi Peter & David. Here’s 17 seconds of the waterfall on April 5, 2024. Maybe you guys had less rain? Aymarah

    Difficulty/ dangerousness/ albergues on the Primitivo?

    The Primitivo is beautiful and not dangerous. You definitely need poles! The most challenging part to me is the descent after Puerto del Palo, jagged, loose, largish, granite rocks. Make sure to visit the wonderful waterfall Cascada de Nonaya which is well marked and exactly 250 meters to the...
