    Pigs ears?

    I stopped into a bar in Navarette at lunch today and choose the only thing on offer which didn't have sea food in it (can't eat it) which was a pig dish. They were flat pieces of meat, quite dark, and skewered together. Not bad tasting but I couldn't handle the texture, it was soft, not slimy...

    Facebook and the forum

    Oh don't worry, I got the same email, and I assure you, I haven't been looking anything up related to chocolate! (But yes, I see other instances on a daily basis!!)

    Bed bugs in winter

    When I did it for my summer walk it involved washing with gloves and mask on, scrubbing your skin afterwards, drying the items in certain conditions, not disposing of it except in a certain way, but most of all it was just the most vile smell ever...

    Bed bugs in winter

    Are they much of a concern during the winter months? The pre-treatment process for sleeping gear is a horror and I'd like to avoid doing it if possible. What are your thoughts?

    Jewellery in Leon

    Does anyone have any recommendations for good quality/local artisan jewellery shops in Leon? I would like to buy a piece as a memento of my walk however I am not after anything which is specifically Camino related.

    Magnum Ice Cream

    Never saw anyone eating them. My daily (/twice daily at times!) was Kas Limone! Or sometimes naranja.

    Catholic Protocol

    A priest is no more qualified to answer this question than someone with a degree in Theology, or indeed a person well educated in Catholicsm! They can get it wrong too...

    Catholic Protocol

    No, Communion is the celebration of Baptism and Confirmation. I'm not going into it, too long, I've not enough time and I don't think it's relevant to the OP. I encourage you to do some more reading on the matter though, it's interesting stuff :) The Australian bishop of Paramatta, Bishop...
