    Alert Theft at Roncesvalles

    From my first day on my camino I used the 3 tap method. As soon as I got up and started walking, whether from a Bar, Albergue or just resting somewhere I would tap my wallet, passport and phone to make sure I had them on me. After a bit it just came automatically to me. Tap, tap tap.

    Taxis to Tui

    I'am also arriving by bus to Valcena but staying in Tui. Nice to read this thread because I did not know about the fort, seems like something I would like to see. Also I would like to walk across the bridge from Portugal to Spain as I had walked from France into Spain.

    If I lived in Spain and was buying train tickets all the time I would probably book through Renfe but for one or two tickets a year I don't mind paying a little bit more if its easier for me.

    Ordering beer in Spain

    Although I usually drink beer during the day I do like a glass of wine at night. I usually just got a glass of wine but never thought of them being different sizes because they all seemed the same. So the question is, does wine by the glass come in different sizes.
