    What to do about a proud tagger (a person who scrawls graffiti)

    What about burning clothes? Or discarding old boots by the side of the road. Or leaving notes along the way? All these things irritate me as someone else has to clean the area periodically or the trail would become impassable.

    Simple Excel-based dates, days and walking hours calculator

    I do the same type of thing. I am an obsessive excel person.

    Spanish Geography Made Easy

    Sone things cannot be un-seen or un-heard.

    Neophyte question: GPS, Tracks, Smartphone etc

    I used C Clearly method for VDLP. It worked perfectly. At first I did. It understand the part about emailing it to myself but when opening on my iPhone the maps.me option works very well. It can be KML or KMZ

    Pilgrims beware of ear worms!

    OMG that is hilarious. I needed some humor tonight.

    Your accommodation doesn't make you a pilgrim!

    Very well said. I have felt a certain sense of superiority by those staying in albergues. At the same time there are comments about overcrowding. It makes sense to me that if you can afford it you should NOT stay in an albergue. Juanajoanna

    Wet conditions on the Camino.

    Surely that is photoshopped!

    Basic Spanish.

    It seems silly to say this, but thanks for taking the time and making the effort up learn some Spanish. It never fails to amaze me when people travel to a country with a different language and then complain that the locals do not understand the travelers' language. It's all about...

    Smuggling Hams back to the USA

    Spanish jam on is NOT smoked. It is not cooked or heated in any way. It is packed in salt and kept in cold places, preferably in a cave or underground. There is someone here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains looking to cure in the Spanish way. It's not just the curing process, but the type of...

    Smuggling Hams back to the USA

    I've had a long time passion for jamon iberico. I've made several "pilgrimages" to special jamon towns. And by pilgrimage I mean driving by car and eating a lot of jamon. Sorry to trivialize that term on a forum of true pilgrims. Two years ago on my way to Spain I went to the border control...

    First Lesson Learned.....

    I will also be biking, VDLP, and am concerned about some of the hills. However my new favorite Spanidh word is "empujabici" which means pushing the bike up a hill. There will be some of that, and I just plan to take it slowly. Meanwhile how are you getting your bike there? I was thinking to...

    Warnings about your (national) passport

    Ha ha. I always overpack!

    Warnings about your (national) passport

    For USA citizens, always ask for extra pages when you get a passport or renew. I don't believe there is an extra charge, but you have to ask. Then you get double the pages. But as said above, you can no longer add pages.

    First Lesson Learned.....

    Spandex is great - it holds everything in! But know there are other options. Primarily mountain bike related, but you can buy padded bike underwear that you then wear under whatever shorts or pants you like. Or there are baggy mountain bike shorts. Some like these even have lots of pockets...
