    What about “té con leche”?😀

    I have found the problem for me was not the tea, but the milk. I like coffee with long-life milk, but not tea. My wife is OK with long-life milk in her tea.

    Pilgrims menu/menu del dia

    Menu del dia for me. More expensive than the pilgrim menu, but usually MUCH better. It introduced me to the delights of a dessert of ice cream with whisky.

    It's unbelievably hot here!

    Low 30s, high humidity here, so it feels more uncomfortable. Wouldn't mind a bit more rain to keep the tank full.

    Camino Baztan: Is a credencial available in Bayonne?

    I got mine in the cathedral. This was in 2019. I stayed in an albergue about 30 min walk out of town. It was the hospitalara's house and could accommodate about 6-8 pilgrims. The hospitalera shepherded us to a cafe down the street where we were well fed very cheaply. Fixed menu. The first time...

    Duo Lingo or Something Else?

    I started Spanish in Granada with 4 week intensives in 2008 and 2009. This gave me roughly intermediate Spanish. I now amuse myself with DuoLingo, which is Latin American Spanish. There are differences but nothing insurmountable and it is free. I would hesitate learning Brazilian Portuguese on...

    Camino Family Experience

    I quite agree. I have met very few people who I am comfortable walking with all day every day. Sure, it can be nice to meet up here and there along the way, but it is not something I would plan.

    Shaving,......probably more for the men!

    Hospital D'Orbigo on the main drag, right hand side on the way out. I usually have a head and beard trim every few weeks. At home I do it myself. On the Camino I find a barber and usually it is done with an electric razor. In Hospital, I poked my head into the shop. Two elderly men chewing...

    Carry your backpack please.

    "Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile ..." Doesn't matter who, or what transports the bag.

    Thanks. I have tried it.

    Agreed. It isn't. Why should it be?

    Diversity on the Camino

    If it is no-ones problem, then surely it isn't a problem, or importantly shouldn't be. A more attractive proposition for a broader group of people? Who are these people and why do they need to be attracted any more than any others? Increasing numbers are in fact being attracted if we accept the...

    Diversity on the Camino

    Is that our problem, or theirs? Of course it does, but perhaps not really so many. If they choose not to walk through, whose problem is it?

    I quite agree

    Diversity on the Camino

    I have been advised that I can talk to moderators about my deleted posts. How do I do this?

    Diversity on the Camino

    Is this really the case? Is the camino door closed to anyone at all? If you pay attention to threads such as "True Pilgrim", then it would seem that some narrow minded pedants may wish to exclude some potential pilgrims, but really how widespread is this attitude?

    Diversity on the Camino

    I tend to agree, however such topics raise lot of ire and promote torrid disagreement, which is a good reason for them being excluded from this forum.

    Olvidado/Invierno vs VdLP/Sanabres

    I have walked both and would agree with P2000

    Are mosquitos seasonal on the Camino?

    I usually walk in Europe no earlier than April and no later than September. I have walked North (Frances, Norte, Primitivo, Olvidado), South (Mozarabe, VdlP,Sanabres) East (Levante)and West Portugues). I have had no problem with mozzies, which is weird since I am ice-cream to biting insects. I...

    Who are you lighting a candle for?

    I light candles for my friends and family. Preferably real candles and not electronic ones. I have been doing this since my third camino when a friend asked me to light candles for his recently deceased father.

    Where can I find prayer opportunities on my way?

    Good point!
