    The Butofumeiro will it be displayed on 24th Of July or Just 25 Of July

    I was just in Santiago last week (week of May 25th) . The Butofumeiro swung at the noon mass on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and I heard even Thursday. I believe lots of people are willing to pay to see it swing. I would say the odds are in your favor to see it swing. Bom Caminho

    Places to stay in Vila do Conde

    Thanks for this information. I am assuming this on the Caminho. Is it between Ponte and Junqueira? I only have the Brierly guide and it does not have this city (or albergue) on the map. Thanks Restless

    azambaja alburgue not open

    I also tried to stay in the new Alberque and couldn't find the key. Since it was May 1st I figured it was because the store was closed for the holiday. (I arrived there the day before Steve.) I tried phoning the number for the store and I got a message that said the phone number was not good...

    Camino Portugues - May 2015

    What great ideas!! I will use the Google translate and the downloads for the guide. Regarding MapMyRide, I will be bringing my Garmin 910 GPS watch. It will allow me to basically do the same things as MapMyRide. Since I have been using Garmin GPS for years for runing and biking I can keep...

    Hi Steve the Planner This might be a silly question, but how do you have the guide on your phone? Did you e-mail to yourself? I would like to know because I think it is a great idea. One less thing to carry. Thanks
