    Gazpacho: Spain’s Answer to Gatorade

    On my post-camino visit to Barcelona, I had a stroke of genius and ordered a glass of gazpacho along with a "Bikini de queso con jamon," which is basically a grilled cheese sandwich. I kicked myself for not thinking of this combo before. So good!

    Do you really need to visit the Pilgrim Office in SJPdP?

    By way of an After Action Report, the Express Bourricot van got me to St Jean at about 14:30 local time, and there were only a few people queued up at the Office (barely out the front door), so I went ahead and joined in, waiting less than 5 minutes. I was on my way up the mountain by 1500...

    Do you really need to visit the Pilgrim Office in SJPdP?

    There have been many photos posted recently of a long queue of people waiting to get into the Pilgrim Office run by Les Amis Du Chemin De Saint Jacques in Saint Jean Pied de Port. I read that at this office they will provide a credencial, place the first stamp in it, and provide tips and...

    When to Arrive at Auberge Orisson?

    You can call me anything but just don't call me late for supper! I will be arriving in SJPdP after noon on 28 May and have a reservation for Auberge Orisson that night. I would certainly want to arrive by dinnertime, so I wonder how long I can tarry in St Jean before starting up the hill? In...

    Food on the Camino, what do you miss?

    At Bar Angel? So good! This place really caught my attention because this is the only pintxo they sell, when so many places in El Laurel have very extensive lists. It gave me the impression of "we do one thing, and we do it well."

    Orisson

    One more point of data. I requested a reservation last Wednesday (15 December) and received the invoice email today, so one week turnaround in this case. -------------------------- From: Refuge Orisson <reservations@refuge-orisson.com> Date: Dec 21, 2022 4:14 AM Subject: Your latest Refuge...

    Please help me identify this old carving

    They are crossed pilgrim staves, as several here have noted. Looking at medieval depictions of pilgrims, a walking staff is probably the second most common badge (after the scallop shell) worn on hats and cloaks. Sometimes as a crossed pair, either behind a shell or on their own, and sometimes...

    Where did you walk ( locally ) in 2020?

    My 12 mile walk along country roads skirting the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge culminated here:

    Stamps

    Here's a different sello-related question. I will be travelling with relatives for a few days, and the itinerary happens to include visiting and/or staying in some places along the Camino Frances, including Puente la Reina, Logroño, Burgos, and Astorga. This will not be a walking trip. Then I...
