    Tincatinker reacted to davejsy's post in the thread Pork in Spain with Like Like.
    Rabbit if cooked correctly is a very nice meat. You will often get this on the menu in Spain especially in the Pyrenees (not so much on the Camino I don't think), but a lot of the time it is farmed rabbit (edit - wild rabbit is nice farmed is not...

    Tincatinker reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Bus from A Coruña to Ferrol? with Like Like.
    The A Coruña railway station and the bus station are a few hundred metres apart separated by a large road. A little below the level of the railway station is the road by which the airport bus enters the city. There are half a dozen trains to...

    As many of you will know the only mammals native to New Zealand are two species of bat. Everything else has been introduced by humans, the vast majority by Europeans in the last 200 years. Because of the lack of natural predators a number of...

    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...

    I had a sprained ankle on one side and plantar facsitis on the other foot. It was hot (July) and I really wasn't that into it and was mainly doing it because my husband wanted to do it. He became very ill in Melide and we had to end our Camino...

    There is no “official” start to Camino. It begins where you begin. On the assumption that you are walking to Santiago and the old boy’s bones I’d suggest “go West” and buen Camino 😉

    UPDATE: First and most important: I am absolutely blown away, grateful, and my spirits lifted by all of your generous wishes and wonderfully kind words for recovery. I will want to sent personal messages to all who took the time to post on this...

    It’s unlikely the bus will be full, especially the early morning one. Fall back is the bus to A Coruna and the train to Santiago

    Tincatinker replied to the thread Pork in Spain.
    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...
