Me too!Welcome to Yerp @Marbe2. I hope you dodge "airplane flu" and have a Buen Camino
Where is that?Yerp
You can see a photo of the burned out refugio on this thread.In case newer readers don’t know, the refugio in LaFaba burnt down! We arrived shortly after 8am in Lafaba, from Las Herrerias,and found Tito’s in La Faba, just opening. We had a fresh warm chocolate croissant, and 2 cups cafe con leche.
There were four Canadian girls who stayed there last night! It is located very close to the old burnt down refugio. Right before you get to former refugio, make a right hand turn on the road. Tito’s is 20 meters (at most) on the left side. They have an assortment of food. Can seat about 20 people inside and there is outdoor seating for about the same amount of people! We are sunning at Escuela right now before the last uphill to O’Cebreiro. .
Regarding post #1, I totally understand your frustration, but a knife is a knife as far as security rules are concerned.
My only security transgressions in 40+ years have been the confiscation of a precious and much beloved Laguiole corkscrew in BOD (where else would someone know the value of such a thing) then one of those metal rappel backpack clips attached to my carry-on at CDG, the guard proffered it could be used as a brass knuckle, and finally last week a tube of toothpaste larger than 3.4oz (mine was larger and maybe half full but exceeded the limit at JFK.) This tube of toothpaste had already passed through at least 4 other airports "undetected."
I get it because there are some bad guys out there, so let's be vigilant.
It is so easy when you are a frequent traveler to ignore the basic rules and regulations because of like, "What the hell it is just a tube of toothpaste, after all." I am probably the biggest rules violator as to not putting my toiletries a small plastic bag. Whatever!
The cane I now have to walk with got a treatment like it was a weapon of mass destruction at JFK. It is as Palo Avellano I bought in the Aubrac when my disability started.
Likewise, I was not debating your point it was my effort to raise awareness about corkscrews, rappelling gizmos and toothpaste. I can only imagine if it had been a tube of Voltaren Gel which is 3.53 oz., the restriction is for up to 3.4 oz. for anything in a tube.I am not debating the need to follow the rules. No,I wouldn’t try to carry it on to a plane, but it passes the screening test for checked luggage and,I have carried this particular small paring knife through many European Counties and numerous times on this scheduled route. The screener-brought me to his booth and showed me the now allowed size which is more like a pen knife. Anyway, I was just raising awareness for other pilgrims who may too bring a small knife.
We watch many a pilgrim come in but walk out when they realized thereis no pilgrim or Menu del dia… Everything is a la Carte…all meals. It is right on the way! Per your request…lMarbe2,
