  I’ve often been tempted to give you all a geology lecture about the descent to Zubiri, but have held back for obvious reasons. I have however waxed lyrical about it in my almost-ready-to-go book about the geology of the camino. Zubiri gets a...

  Hello, and I'm sorry to hear of your knee pain. It's so hard to rest when you want to be walking. You could consider signing up for a Spanish language school while you're resting, give your brain something fun to do while you rest your body. If...
