Liz was looking for some information on market days on the Primitivo, and I found a website listing all towns in Asturias with market days.
There are quite a few towns on the Norte, so I thought I'd post the link here in case any Norte pilgrim is interested. (In Spanish, but all you need to...
I am supposed to be grading exams and so, of course, I am procrastinating!
Here's my question -- I read somewhere that there is a very good farmers' market in Grado. I seem to remember that the market is on a particular day and/or that its opening hours are limited. Does anyone have any info...
Hi everyone,
I am a third year medical student in the US. The summer before I started med school I did the Camino del Norte--one of the best decisions of my life!
Now fast forward to third year. I took my boards in June, started third year a week later and went through a torturous break-up...
Here I am again, dreaming of all the Caminos I would love to walk if I had unlimited spare time in my life, such as the Mozarabe which hooks up with the VDLP, but realistically it would appear that the next Camino for me will be the Portuguese again over the christmas break.
Last time I was...

I'm currently in the small village of Villambistia, just two days away from Burgos. We plan to take a rest day in Burgos on the 30th and 31st of June, BUT there is the Sampedros festival going on all week!!
Will this make it hard to find accommodation? Also, will things be closed...
For those of you on the trail now, the small town of Estella is celebrating the 16th Semana Medieval, or Medieval week. It's a fun-filled week of music, medieval costumes, jousting, shows, parades and general merriment. It's much calmer than the recent San Fermin / Running of the Bulls...
I am walking the Camino again next year and would love to know what days the villages and towns hold their local market days. I was fortunate enough to stumble across a huge market in Leon while there, and another in Belorado. I would love to know in advance what days I will find a market and...
We will be walking from SJPDP to Santiago in mid May and I am wondering if there are many little markets along the route where we can buy fresh fruits and veggies to bring on our walk each day. I have seen quite a bit of info about bars and restaurants and where to eat but have not seen much...
I am curious to know if anyone has information on markets/ farmers' markets in towns along the Camino Frances...

I guess this question could also be posted with the food threads but I feel this is more specific to the region. Does anyone have some can't miss patisserie or charcuterie shops along the Le Puy route??? I am a big fan of pates and rillettes and saucisson and of course the bread to go along...
