    What does the 'spirit of the camino' mean to you?

    I guess it depends on what you’re searching for. If looking for solitude and reflection it may mean open wide spaces that would provide you the opportunity to be with your inner self. In contrast, if your bet is the social side of the route, it could be the company and camaraderie of your...

    A short (7-10 day) Camino over Christmas - which route/section?

    Good bet and terrifically envious of you WestKirsty. :) I assume you know that from Haro to Santo Domingo runs the vasco interior to meet up with the frances. Buen and joyful camino.

    A short (7-10 day) Camino over Christmas - which route/section?

    Meseta came to mind when I first read your thread on a Christmas walk. I’ve just walked once during Christmas time, and it had a nice and unique touch. It definitely will have its charm whatever the path you take.

    Armchair tasting tour of Spanish wine

    My brother invited me yesterday for lunch and showed me a Monjardin red wine he had been recommended by the owner of a winery he visits quite often. Fruity, tasty and, oddly enough, unexpectedly familiar. :) I forgot to take a picture, but have found it on its site.

    My playlist of the music on the way to Santiago for 32 days in 2016 is as follows. And yours?

    🎸 🎵 Good list. Even so I would add Dream on, the Aerosmith song I listened to at some point, in I can hardly recall which camino. Despite this fact, it became right away catchy and part of my future hikes as essential soundtrack of them. ❤

    Looking for posts by Illustrator

    Those lovely drawings. You have brought back hilarious moments, and feel like posting again the scene I enjoyed the most. I guess I can identify with it when recalling myself jumping off a top bunk in the middle of the night. A piece of art.

    Armchair tasting tour of Spanish wine

    I found it quite an experience. At that time I was far from being familiar with craft vermouth, and absolutely loved it. As memorable as those small pitchers it was poured into.

    Armchair tasting tour of Spanish wine

    I also recall when walking Coruña’s leg of the ingles, in an old fashioned looking (still lovely) ❤ bar pulling draft vermouth into tiny individual spanish pitchers called porrones. Just curious I asked the barman, who told me they came from Cataluña where seemingly it is quite traditional. No...

    Armchair tasting tour of Spanish wine

    Albarin grape is news to me, also those Lugo bred vines sound great. Please, and to the extent you feel like, let us know on them. Northern vines. ❤

    Armchair tasting tour of Spanish wine

    It's been a few years, even so I still recall it occurred in my early twenties, in Reliegos Elvis Bar while tasting a glass of wine. ☺ We asked for a local beverage, Xinin the owner warned us it was kind of a thick stuff made of Prieto Picudo grapes. Even so, we ordered it. 💪 I may rarely...

    Armchair tasting tour of Spanish wine

    I was instructed by a barman in Orense, as I love wine but knew little about galician wines, still limited knowledge on them though. 😊 Seemingly there are five designation of origin in Galicia, four of them from Orense (vines you go past when walking invierno and portuguese interior) and the...

    Selfishness

    Right, a shameful sign of disaffection toward our tiny playful friends, selfish pilgrims. :mad: Indeed, I doubt they would have done anything similar to us if they had been in our shoes, as they tend to show so much affection to us. And they look sooo cute.🐛

    Astérix hikes into Pamplona

    Accompanied by Obelix 💪, both approaching Pamplona in July and aching to enjoy the spectacular festival. Fond memories from his brilliant and unique illustrations ❤, also from my arrival in Pamplona and my stay there for a couple of days before the patron saint’s day. Sad news.

    Watching the Forum Grow

    I’ve already enjoyed other trails. One day sitting in a porch out of a hostel chatting with other fellow pilgrim and wondering why we still felt drawn to the Frances, he told me other routes being cool, spectacular or even nicer weren’t like Mother Camino. Not completely sure about that...
