    Beware of price gouging

    I just finished the Camino Frances on 9/29. What an amazing experience! The scenery was magnificent, the other pilgrims were wonderful, and most of the local people were very supportive and helpful. The prices were amazingly good. For example, I stopped many days for second breakfast and got...

    Is It: Food Poisoning, Stomach Flu…Or, Just a change in diet?

    Several recent threads touch (lightly) on the painful results of pilgrims on Camino suffering from either food poisoning or possibly stomach flu. In these threads, the writer describes the symptoms and, if professionally treated, the clinical finding. But, let’s be candid, “When you are vomiting...

    Peanut Butter on the Camino Frances?

    I just had a client who is a vegetarian ask me if she could find peanut butter on the Camino Frances. You know... I don't know! I don't eat it and don't recall seeing it. I see notes from 2013 about finding it. Do you think it's still possible? Anyone?
