    Advice for walking from Roncesvalles to Zubiri

    Hiking sandals or not?

    On the Camino Frances last summer, I used a combination of trail runners and Teva hiking sandals. It was a perfect combination.

    Viana

    I loved Viana. Burial place of Cesare Borgia...how cool is that? I also stayed at the former "palace" now converted to hotel for a pleasant and temporary escape from the albergues. A nice little town with great spots to eat/drink.

    Warning for those who visit Santiago: you can not eat or drink in the Plaza del Obradoiro

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spanish QR code? Nope

    I spent several hours researching and processing the acquisition of a QR code for Spain. I flew into Madrid last night. Not one person asked to see it. Bureaucracy at its finest.
