    Here we go again -- Rescue near Villafranca del Bierzo

    Can I just throw some local knowledge/a different viewpoint into the soup? This party was from Andorra ..... possibly one of the least hospitable (but beautiful) areas of Europe. There would not have been a kid who had not seen snow from the day he was born. This was not their first rodeo...

    Camino for Charity - Good Idea or Not?

    FASCINATING ....absolutely FASCINATING! I have been on these forums for about 6 weeks and I suppose it's the question I have always wanted to ask. It's hugely interesting to see so many different opinions ,,,,,,of course, NOBODY is right and NOBODY is wrong. Some background to my input. A...

    For anyone who lives in Madrid, Three tasks to do in Madrid, how (exactly) would you do it

    #2 is simply WRONG .... no back account needed at all and is done on the spot, jeffery #3 30 years in telecom and 15 years in Spain tells me that ALL the low cost carriers use the major carriers so there is NO difference on quality but there will be on price. Hits/Lebara/Más/Lycos are all...

    Cost of Camino

    I live in Spain (15 years) so a few "local" observations 1) We like cash in Spain. ATMs are nowhere near as popular as Scandinavia or USA. As has been mentioned, many shops, bars, restaurants will not WANT plastic below x euros. "Cash is King". In an emergency, they MAY accept it but ask for x...
