    AA meetings

    Lots of decent Non alcoholic beers in Spain, from all the main players as well as a plethora of new micro breweries that also make no alcoholic beers. I stopped drinking alcohol, last year and so far not missed it, and the good thing is you get tapas, with non alcoholic drinks

    Completing the whole Camino on multiple trips - different dates

    I for one can never understand why a Compostela is so important, I have walked a few Caminos but never been to Santiago, except by car. You know what you have walked, why does anyone need a bit of paper, I think the Sellos are great though

    Starting in Leon...accomodation and first day walking

    There is nothing ghastly about León, the walk out passes the wonderful San Marcos convent, the Roman bridge, and as you leave Leòn, wonderful views of the City and Cathedral in the distance, I live in León just slightly down river from the Roman bridge, and one of the walks I do when practising...
