Jjabrown replied to the thread Can the Camino del Norte be as Magical as the Frances and Portuguese Routes for a first timer?.The section of the Norte you are contemplating is an epic passage i.e. beautiful scenery, challenging trail conditions, long stages, steep ascents and descents.

Jjabrown reacted to trecile's post in the thread Shortest section between Camino del Norte and Primitivo. with
Like.

Jjabrown reacted to Albertinho's post in the thread camino portugues: coastal or central? (first timer!) with Like.
I think the OP is writing about the Caminho Português from Porto due to lack of time. From Porto the Caminho is doable ,either the Central or the Coastal or one of the many variations in about 14 days. The Coastal caminho from Lisbon is less...

Jjabrown replied to the thread Pork in Spain.Eat more plants, eat less meat. I'm sure there is wonderful food in Spain, but I suspect most of the Spanish citizens I saw don't eat high end food on a daily basis. I saw few obese people in Spain. After a few too many queasy stomach post...
