    Thank you, NYC. Lucky you, seeing the thermal baths right by the albergue. We never saw them at all. Your walk out of Ourense sounds awful. Did you take the left Y out of town instead of the right? Are you saying a hospitalero snored? 😂

    It's this crazy looking, extremely modern bridge with a pedestrian crossing up, around, over and down with oodles of steps.

    Day 13- Today was a majority uphill, from Ourense to Cea, a total of 22.3k according to Gronze. It was a long day for me, with a nice variety of trails, lanes and eventually picking our way through wet rocks in steam beds. I see someone left their shoes! Highlights included an early "picnic"...

    Puebla de Sanabria - worth the cost?

    We stayed two nights in Pueblo de Sanabria a week ago at Hostel Carlos V for €68/per night for two. It was quite nice, and I enjoyed the small city, and found enough to do, and teally liked the castle and grounds. I liked that it was not overwhelming.

    Five days seems a long time to me!

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    I have read reports of stomach issues quite a few times since I've been on this forum, and many have been from people walking on the Meseta. One thought I've read is that it could be related to water run off of the fields occasionally, temporarily tainting the local water supply, but it is only...

    Believe me, if I could walk on that "amusement park ride"😅...anyone can!

    The king’s breadmaker

    I had to use google translate to get the joke as I had no idea why it provided the "haha's"...😂

    LIVE from the Camino Chrissy on the Camino Sanabrés

    I not sure, Jill. I planned ahead from home and booked the majority of our nights and have seen very few other walkers each day to find out. Only heading out of Pueblo de Sanabria did we see the two big groups on organized tours pass us. Our rain thankfully was never pouring down. Mostly it...

    Not really, but thankfully it wasn't as awful tasting as I thought it was going to be!

    Maybe you will get one of their regular balconies if you put in a request.🤷

    The king’s breadmaker

    I first heard her speak "ultra fluent" Spanish when we met halfway between our homes at a park to walk a few years ago. We passed a few Hispanic teens and she walked over to them and chatted; rattleing off the fastest Spanish I'd ever heard coming from someone not born into the language.It was...

    Day 12- Rest day in Ourense. It was another drizzly day, but mostly just spitting, on and off. We still managed doing a little sightseeing, although it did put a little "damper"(pun) on things, but not our spirits. First, we headed over to the awesome, unique Millennium bridge and climbed all...

    LIVE from the Camino Account of a very challenging day SJPdP to Roncesvalles (crazy weather)

    There have been so many additional fruit and veggie items in the larger grocery stores the past few years, too. I also notice more condiments and mayonnaise type options, such as one of my favorites...aoli. It's all I can do to keep my hands off the stuff!

    Thanks, Dani! I spend quite a bit of time putting my posts together most days and I enjoy doing it. It's nice to know you appreciate what I write.🤗

    The king’s breadmaker

    @peregrina2000, I am envious of you and many others who speak fluent Spanish and can enjoy chatting with the locals. At breakfast this morning I asked if they made "huevos" as they often don't. The man said "si, fritos" and went in the back and came out a few minutes later with a plate of two of...

    I'm glad you are enjoying my posts. These three amigos were seriously ferocious and the one on the far right is named Henry...just sayin'.😂

    Day 11 It rained today steady for an hour, so we added our umbrellas to our rain gear. An hour doesn't sound like much of over 6 hours walking, but it is when navigating a variety of trails. The weather has been slowly getting warmer, so we haven't needed our gloves and warm hats...yay. I'm...

    I am sorry, Scott, as I didn't make myself clear enough. We stopped for the night in Vilar de Barrio, and the great breakfast was in that same village. The next night was in Pousa. I cut that long stage in two and was glad I did.
