    Stage 5 (on the Camino Frances): yes, Edith Piaf from from Santo Domingo d/l Calzada to Viloria de La Rioja thanks to Alain from Rouen (France) who is selling houses as job. You noticed that Edith Piaf sings an extra line at 2'50", just to make it possible to arrive at Viloria de La Rioja? Thank...

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Hello Laurie, The donkey seems now to be an attraction on the path just before entering Llanos de Someron. It moved away slowly.

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    The part from Pajares till Campomanes was for us the most difficult part. Some tracks were a little bit too small and finally the descend to Campomanes was a really killer. www.vimeo.com/86874102

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    This is the second day on the Cantabrian Mountains. On the highest point, Jose Antonio Ender and his team built a cross. The most beautiful part of the way is between Puerto de¨Pajares and the village Pajares. Quiero ! ! ! Part 18: https://vimeo.com/86312087

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Pola de Gordón is the last place where you can buy some food. In the Cantabrian Mountains, there are some small villages where there are only some albergues, hostals and some bars. After the village Buiza, the path becomes rough. The view from the Alto Forcada de San Anton is beautiful. Here is...

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Susanna, Laurie, It was difficult for me to understand why you were complaining about bugs while I saw so many butterflies. In fact I lost a lot of time filming them because... they flew away all the time :) Another thing I didn't film was the moment when Esmine called me. It was just...

    GPS vs. phone vs. camera

    Very good plan Susanna! About touch screen versus navigation joystick. The 85 year old man has the Dakota 20 and he sometimes has to press twice. I like the navigation joystick. It goes even quicker and there are no prints on the screen. May I suggest you one thing. Buy some protection foils...

    GPS vs. phone vs. camera

    I used for the Camino Del Salvador the Garmin Etrex 20. As Laurie started this post with the question about the Dakota 20: here are the differences. Navigation on Etrex is with a kind of joystick. Dakota is with touch screen. Screen of Dakota is a little bit bigger but Etrex has a brighter...

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Thank you all for your compliments. It's time to leave León. Sunday morning, the city is still sleeping. It seems that I'm the only pilgrim heading to Oviedo. Just outside León, I meet Gloria from Andalucia who's also walking El Salvador and who will continue till Santiago and maybe till...

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Hello Fred, My wife did very well. You will hear what she did wrong during the first day in the next part. The hardest part for her was going down to Campomanes. Just like Susanna from Sweden... Thank you for the compliments of the quality. Hello Laurie, Puerto de Pajares, it's for part 4. (Quiero!)

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Yes, "our" Puerto de Pajares. The time between the two previous screenshots (in reverse order because pic 1 is at the albergue de Pajares) is 3 minutes where I worked 2 complete evenings on it. I think it's the climax of the movie!

    Radio Buen Camino now on El Salvador -PART 21

    Thanks to Susanna, I noticed this message. Yes, what a lovely story to let discover your wife the camino by looking to the videos. The good news is that - as Susanna also knows - I walked last summer the Camino San Salvador. And there will be soon another Radio Buen Camino. Yesterday evening...

    If Known Bedbugs, Then What?

    In September 2011, I checked in Albergue la Torre in Arcahueja. Around bedtime, I saw a bedbug crawling on the blue colored wall and could seperate it in a small plastic bag. I showed the owner and he said it was only one, that it came from someone who took it with him, that he got all the...

    bed bugs 2013

    Thank you Tom Friesen for your detailed post. If every albergue should act like Grañon, Zamora and some others... the problem of bedbugs could be reduced. For the moment, some albergues really don't care and this is wrong! It has also no sense that Grañon is spraying daily if Azofra doesn't take...

    bed bugs 2013

    During my camino in sept/oct 2011, it was a problem. When I arrived in León, a lot of pilgrims were bitten. I heard from two sources that lesser bed bugs were noticed during the summer/autumn 2012 compared with the situation in 2011. If I would do the camino again - as a preventive action - I...
