We have seen all manner of important and practical information passed along on the forum, anything and everything concerning arrival times, boots, bedbugs, pilgrim menus, albergues etc etc etc. Most of us are walking through a country which at best we have but a smidgen of knowledge concerning the centuries of history, art and architecture, we think we know what a Flamenco or a Fado might be but we don't. Gypsy Kings will pass but they certainly represent a syncretism, wonderful in their own right, but not really Spanish not Gypsy, not Moorish. So don't be Philistines, start here before you go. Seek out the good stuff when you hit Galicia.
