    Cold walk

    Very Poetic and true William, I have often felt as you describe the faint presence of all those past pilgrims many who carried great burdens to the Tomb of St James. Would imagine in medieval times while there would have been a sense of adventure for some for others a seeking to have great...

    When will it cool down in Spain?

    Overtaking étiquette.
