    Camino hacks

    I stayed at Casa Magica when I was in Villatuerta last week. It is absolutely my favorite place on the Camino so far. Simone and Miguel are lovely people who provide a warm and friendly home to pilgrims. Miguel cooked a vegetarian Paella that night that was literally one of the best things I...
