    Peregrino arrested after traffic accident involving a goat...

    I saw this guy by Puente Quintos on the VdlP/Sanabrés in March. I thought he was a local goatherd but the description fits. Seemed like an 'interesting' character. He was sitting by the side of the road smoking a homemade pipe.

    In praise of Motel Truckstops on the Camino

    The long stretch after Caparra - I got a taxi to pick me up at Ventaquemada and take me to Plasencia and back again the next day.

    Which is the flattest major Camino de Santiago route?

    Mostly just turn up. The possibility of booking (which is the minority of parish or local authority albergues) or not is noted on the Gronze website which has up to date info on whether albergues are open or not. It's in Spanish but it's easily navigated

    Which is the flattest major Camino de Santiago route?

    The Via de la Plata is not one for the summer, certainly not the section from Seville to Salamanca. The best site for routes is gronze.com but it's all in Spanish

    Which is the flattest major Camino de Santiago route?

    The Via de la Plata is the least vertically challenging I would suggest. That's why I'm doing it 😜

    Taking a number in Santiago.

    That is the case. If, however, you arrive in a group, you can get a sheet from the security guy on the door, and fill it in with all the details of your group, and hand in your sheet with completed credenciales. They give you a time to come back. On return just go directly to the office on the...
