    Zaragoza: mind blown!!!

    I agree. Zaragoza is amazing. I spent a week there last october after the camino olvidado and it was during fiesta del pilar. Fantastic celebrations. Also wonderful mudejar architecture.

    Shifting from Garmin GPS to phone — step 1

    I am interested in this thread. I have an analogue phone and two years ago walk part of the via romea germanica in Italy and I had downloaded maps.me plus the maps they provided on their website. I must admit I really have no idea what i was doing but it seemed to work. I certainly noted when...

    What do you do when you cannot walk anymore?

    This is so great this thread and all the comments are thought provoking and i am agreeing with alot of the comments ! Luckily I have 10 days for Spain in September and hopefully a short camino. I do love Spain so much..if I am not walking I can always train or bus. Meanwhile i can walk locally.

    Once when eating and then looking at the desert menu..... there were bonbons or something written like that...but with my small amount of Spanish and obvious misreading.... I asked for the bomberos. They laughed long at that one.

    The movie, "Wild"

    I have just read the book and had a chuckle about the heavy pack she started with. Aahh memories of a heavy pack!! Of course she gets fitter and wiser as the walk goes on. A good read about a long walk.

    My five minute, 'Gentle, In Bed Stretches'

    Hi when we walked the Camino Norte a few years ago, there was a guy who always did his stretches in his bunk in the morning including leg stretches and back stretches. It was quite funny to see -but on the other hand he didn't get injuries!

    What are "robots" doing on the forum?

    This has been very entertaining and enlightening and amusing and alot of time wasted and it is late in the day. But just think about those anagrams Caminos becomes macinos robots becomes boots-r so maybe they do all fit together.

    Storage of luggage at Burgos OR posting luggage to Burgos

    Hi I think this is a miscellaneous topic! We plan to walk in June for 2 weeks from Irun to Burgos. Before we walk we will need to post ahead some extra clothes to Burgos from within Spain. Does anyone know the time limit for parcels kept at post offices which are NOT Santiago De C. and if...

    Where was I?

    Hi there If it was on the Norte it may have been between Castro-Urdiales and Laredo. There are alternatives there. But the alternative through La Magdalena way, which increases the distance, is over a mountain & through the forest . And in June 2009 there was alot of stacked logs at the top...
