    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    No. South American Spanish just uses a formal "you" rather than vosotros for you guys. There are some words that are different like juice, but you will be understood.

    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    I had problems with conversation because I had to translate to English what the person said to me. Then I would have to translate my answer into Spanish. But after watching hundreds of hours of videos from DreamingSpanish I can often think in Spanish. It really helped with conversation. I...

    Nicknaming the People You Walk With

    In 2012, while having our lunch a woman came up to my friend and I and said "wow, you're the two yoga women with the pink umbrella." She had heard of us, but hadn't seen us yet. We got a good chuckle out of our "name" as every day we would lie down by the trail, put up the umbrella and rest...

    Bathtubs and Other Essentials While on the Camino!

    In 2012 I stayed in hotels on my first camino. Here is a list of ones with bathtubs, but I cant guarantee that all rooms in the hotels have a bathtub. 1. Abadia - just past Burgos 2. La Fabrica - Tarjados (only 10 km past Abadia) 3. Hotel Gaudi - Astorga 4. Posada el Tesin -Rabanal del Camino...

    Best Chocolate?

    No one has mentioned second breakfast of chocolate croissants. When I want a little piece of Spain in Canada I go find a chocolate croissant. But favorite chocolate? I'm just happy to be able to enjoy as much chocolate as I want while walking the camino.

    On the Camino, on this date in May...

    @trecile It wasn't just a pool. It was leather couches and flat screen tv's, fabulous food, outdoor furniture to laze about on, and a balcony off the room. The view was amazing. There was a bar and outdoor tables. And all for 10 euros for a bed. Here's another picture: This was in...

    On the Camino, on this date in May...

    On May 10, 2015 I was taking a rest day - only walking 15 km from Belorado to Villafranca Montes de Oca. On May 9, 2015 I had dinner with @Buz Radican at the A Santiago albergue in Belorado. I arrived there knowing he was staying there, and I wandered around asking if anyone knew Buz - I...

    On the Camino, on this date in May...

    @Scottish Paul My picture is from May 25, 2015. I had just sent a message to my sister the day before about how hard the camino was. Kind of had to eat my words when I sent her pictures from this paradise.

    Survey from Grañón

    That was a lovely survey. It really did make you think. I miss Spain.

    Home Alone - New Generation (i.e.Self Isolation) ideas

    I ran out and bought paint. I intend on painting my bathroom, living room and kitchen. I may need to be quarantined for more than 2 weeks!

    Solitude, flexibility, & budget on the Camino?

    On the Frances you may find solitude if you are leaving later in the mornings. It depends how many people are staying about 5 to 10 km behind you. You mention that you may leave late - as long as you know that the albergues usually kick you out by 8 am. I liked to leave between 7 and 7:30 in...

    ‘Native’ language marker?

    Maybe we all need to slow down and look a little deeper before replying to someone. We can check what country someone is from, but that doesn't tell us what their native language is. Once when I was concerned that someone was being rude I sent a private message to the person asking what they...

    Things you enjoy that you can leave them at home

    I am happy not to take a flat iron, hair dryer, makeup, and my gaiters.

    A Tiny Bottle of Liquid

    I just found a website for O Dispensario (CBD Only) in Santiago. Address: Rúa do Cardeal Payá, 7 Baixo, 15703 Santiago de Compostela Phone number +34 691 68 21 51. Maybe someone in Santiago can see if this is what you are looking for. If you can't find CBD oil in Spain, have you tried...

    Motivation for Training

    Put walking on your calendar with a start time and then dont cancel that appointment. If you feel too tired, or the weather is crappy put on music or a pod cast and start. I tell myself I can do ten minutes and usually once I am outside and interested in the podcast I dont return home for an...

    Camino question

    Twice I have walked into the bank where I got €50s from their bank machine only to find there are just employees sitting at desks and Spanish people standing around. Everyone turned and stared at me and then an employee asked me what I wanted and answered that they dont have any money in the...
