    Also - when you stay in towns - quite a few large ones with fantastic places to visit - then you have a plethora of places to eat - and amazing tapas - in Zamora it was memorable! But indeed in some places (like in my avatar pic on left!) the...

    I wrote about my experience at this restaurant after my camino in 2017. It still amuses me to read this. "I had just rolled into Rionegro. The only accommodation is the very fine albergue, and when I went in, there was a group of pilgrims...

    Like @happymarkos in post #14, I recommend the small tins of tuna. After the kind recommendation of @wanda I also began keeping tins of the Isabel pasta salads in my hiking trailer. The Isabel pasta salads were excellent and really worth...

    First, this was my fourth Camino and was the most consistently beautiful walk I've done. Hilly, varied and so scenic! My daughter and I walked from Puebla de Sanabria to Santiago Apr. 14 - May 2 and were incredibly lucky to hit a period of...

    CarolamS replied to the thread Stage 28.
    If it is Tricastela to Sarria I would say both route choices are beautiful and fairly quiet. If you have time I would take the Samos route and stay there for the night. You can go to the Monastery for a tour which is interesting and later attend...
