      Just as a reference for future Salvador pilgrims. Our experience in Poladura (one week earlier) was completely different. Hot water, lots of blankets, electricity working fine, super well equipped kitchen and absolutely lovely hospitality. It’s...

      MikeJS reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Pork in Spain with Like Like.
      Departing some short distance from this thread and definitely out to the fringes of this forum ( I won’t mind if this gets blasted) Several of our local “nature reserves” in Sussex are obliged to cull the deer that have multiplied to...

      It’s interesting, the meat question, innit. Most will never have plucked and drawn a fowl, cached and skinned a rabbit or even scaled and gutted or filleted a fish. Fewer still will have shot the game or even caught the fish. Even fewer will have...

      The longer you walk the easier it gets. I find the first week is for settling in and by the end of the second week is normally when I get the first day when everything feels fine and then it normally stays that way. I think the longest I did was...

      MikeJS reacted to Kathy F.'s post in the thread How to decide how long to walk for with Like Like.
      The first 10 days are for your body. The second 10 days are for your mind. The last 10 days are for your soul. Welcome to this forum! You won’t find better advice anywhere. Buen Camino.

      I wasn’t sure where to post this so mods feel free to move it. This year I’ve had more than one person in my group complain because the pork they ordered was “raw” and they have sent it back to be cooked to well done. This is a leftover in the...

      1. Sort food for tomorrow in Poladura de la Tercia (see WhatsApp number for the Posada in the post above). Write, don’t call, that you will arrive tomorrow, stay at the albergue and want food (specify if you want lunch and / or dinner) 2...

      You nailed it. Last week I completed 2x15km hikes over rough terrain in the foothills of the Tararua Ranges. No problem at all. BTW, I am 73, wanting to keep in shape for next year's Camino del Norte in August.

      Day 0: My first time ‘live’ (delayed a day or two) reporting. :) I finished the via de la plata in Astorga today (9 days from Morille near Salamanca where I left off in 2020 due to pandemic). I got a final stamp from Astorga cathedral and...

      I mostly use a poncho but they can be a nuisance in strong winds so I always carry a rain jacket (and trousers as well). I get my ponchos from the sort of shops in spain that sell farming goods. They cast about 20 euros and seem to be favoured by...
