    WebCam from Galicia

    On the search for Acronyms that escape me, I looked up CRT ( I know, let´s not go there) and it autocompleted this address which is the webcam services of Galicia: So search for your favourite spot on this étape and look how the weather or the view is where you just want to be just now. For...

    Music from Galicia - BBC Port w Julia Fowlis

    Admit it; you are dying to go, but cannot, or will not, due to the current situation, and you will watch anything just vaguely touching Spain and the Camino - but food programs alone will not cut it... Julie Fowlis is an interesting artist from the North of Scotland - and an accomplished...

    El Perro -

    Deeply engulfed by my hood of my jacket in the rain, a little after Silleda this September on the Via Sanabrés, I hear a loud sniffing to my left. Peering out I spotted a large white herding dog that had crept up on me and was now eagerly greeting me. For some reason she was following me... I...

    Bed bug attack in Senda Sur, Porrino

    In an overnight stay from Sept 20 to 21th, a Danish pair of Pilgrims were severely bitten. After addressing the issue to the hospitalero, it was not treated very seriously. If pondered upon at all...shoulders were merely shrugged.. The sheets were bloodied as the lady was a diabetic and the...

    Rain mittens

    Much to my dismay, I cannot find rain mittens, except for children, in my own country. Strange, as noone takes well to drenched gloves and hands in this wet winter we´re having..... So for me to train for stretches with walking sticks and pack, I need somewhere to buy, say Mountain Laurel gear...

    Passports w 7 digits !?

    My new passpoprt is issued w/ 7 digits only.. I tried to enter this into the Cops app but was told I needed eight digits, an upper and a lower character.

    Getting your tea, the Marcel Marceau way

    Many have lamented on tea being served in any other way but in smallish cups. I simply have to alternate between coffee and tea at each pit stop, in order not to over-caffeinate! This is what I do ! I am prostate operated upon and need stops every hour for, like an old steam locomotive to to get...
