Too many and too often!

This looks so interesting. I look forward to reading it, just as soon as I figure out how to work Google Translate.

Hi, I’ve got 3 1/2 days in Santiago at the end of my camino, and I’m thinking to go to Vigo to watch the football on the 15th. It is a 10 pm kick-off, so I am wondering if it is likely to get any...
