Snoring in albergue!
Several years ago, a hospitalera in a Burgos albergue (an unforgetably-named Frenchwoman - 'Marie Noel', Merry Christmas - a charming woman :-) ) limited each of us to two glasses of red wine during a communal dinner. She said that anything beyond that promoted heavy snoring. I believe, based on...- CyclingJeff

No beds on the last 100km into Santiago
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IPKPB5A/?tag=casaivar02-20 Weighs less than a kilo, and even more comfortable than my bed at home.

Biking Camino del Norte/Primitivo questions
Hi, jnoval. I travel with my touring bike quite frequently. Crazy fees? British Air doesn't surcharge for a bike, but will get you $50 for a second piece of luggage. I believe that USAir and American charge about the same. That doesn't strike me as so bad. I use a Tardis Stealth bag (about $100...- CyclingJeff

Cycling bells a must!
I cycled the VDLP and the Francesa this summer past; I was on a touring bike, and roadbound, so I didn't experience the major cyclist/hiker conflicts that are being reported, but I've plenty of experience in dealing with hikers on local trails. Hikers: consider NOT using earbuds, or, if you...- CyclingJeff
