    Are you a hiker or a walker?

    I chanced on this thread today - it’s ANZAC day. A most significant day for many who remember. Buen camino.

    What about “té con leche”?😀

    I enjoy a nice ‘cuppa tea’ with milk too but I’ve found it often difficult to order at a bar in Spain; HOWEVER…. whilst walking with friends last year …. One of them was familiar with what was available and had no problem at all asking and receiving tea (but without milk)…. It’s a refreshing...

    Ordering beer in Spain

    I’m not a beer drinker but if it’s been a really hot walk - a refreshing drink is that described in all of the above quotes. I ask for cerveza con limón…… in some regions it’s called ‘clara’. Other places they will serve a bottle of ‘radler’ which is the above in a bottle. They give me a...

    Over Planning Again

    Yes- a great idea. I tried this last November 2023, and didn’t get a dry day. It took the gloss off the whole camino. Rained continually, on boat ride and all way into Santiago. There were some heavy going downhill rocky sections last November on the espiritual variant caused by rain . I’m...

    Over Planning Again

    Hi Robo I think Pat might enjoy your strong contender. Simply for the reasons you’ve quoted. Just hope you find a dry 10days and it could be perfect. I don’t recall any really bad hills - meaning that on foot ., you can always just take a breather. The sanabrés from Ourense has a lot to...

    Is it possible to store backpack in the 2nd Albergue?

    Hi @CWBuff This ‘planning ‘ all seems to be a lot of fluffing about. You say your friend is young and has the experience of Sarria to Sdc. She would have lots of company walking all the way to Roncesvalles. She’s young and hopefully getting a few kilometres practice now. She should...

    What are most people finding as the daily expense of a 2-3 month Camino walk?

    And even more ‘nuts’ is that checking the link out - one of the ‘tour’ dates is already SOLD OUT …. No doubt the botafumeiro will swing in Santiago if they are paying this exorbitant amount …. Surely it will guaranteed at that price. Crazy $$$

    A long (winding) road.

    You could edit that post 🤪🤪??? If it indeed turned out to be much tamer than you expected ?

    It's unbelievably hot here!

    You are getting the hot stuff in the west Paul. We’re getting very high humidity but lower 30’s on the east coast., accompanied by some scary storms here and there (thunder and lightening and hail ).. It’s looking lovely on the Vdlp and Mozárabe though ❤️

    Not everyone happy about pilgrim/tourist pressure.

    I’m wondering if you’ve noticed this shadow ? Pics (2) were taken at 12.53pm (midday) 20 Oct 2023. Below the cathedral steps. I was taking a pic of the shell in the pic and later noticed the shadow.. Re the pilgrim shadow. We (I’m with @El Cascayal / she’s in yellow jacket ) had our...

    Has anyone seen "Camino", a danish movie by Birgitte Stærmose, just released April 2023?

    Thanks Robo / re movie ‘Camino’ It took me a while to locate it on SBS on demand. I watched it today. I found it rather strange but very sad.

    A long (winding) road.

    What's with the big bulls on the hills?

    Great to know you’re really on your way - I can picture your ‘bull’ up on the left as you walk along the dry river bed. It would be great to hear from you when you’ve got time. I empathise with you re your exit delays from USA around Monday. There have been a few of us (from forum) who...

    The ticking clock

    I also envy those who found ‘Spain/Portugal/France and their pilgrimage ways) at an earlier age. Sometimes people who ‘retire from work’ label themselves as too old to walk a camino. The caminos to Santiago, have been the best medicine I’ve found to stay healthy of body, mind and spirit in...

    That recipe - which one is yours?

    Are they muffins ? .. your mention of membrillo 😋 /(membrillo y queso on camino is my favourite 😋😋😋).

    That recipe - which one is yours?

    That’s looks so ‘yumbo’ 😋😋😋 What have you added to give that tasty looking sauce. ?

    Help with booking.com directions

    Hi Woody I’m not sure if this is helpful - but I thought I’d check a past booking- Eg: When you open a booking confirmation / it gives property address etc - and in blue under property address - it gives link : “get directions “ I usually just go into my ‘booking dot com’ app and see my...
