    You haven't provided much information and that makes it very difficult to figure out what your problems might be. A WhatsApp call may go unanswered for many reasons including you calling at a time when the person receiving your call is asleep...

    After a passably successful career as a generalist I stand in awe of someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, they are surprisingly few and far between. Keep the rocks coming.

    I passed through Nájera today. To quote John Lennon, “ I just had to look”. As you probably know, the red sandstone cliffs run right alongside the houses. Definitely unusual. These red beds underly the whole area from near Navarette almost all...

    This is why I love walking the Francés in june / july. Better weather than in spring, and not that busy (well, until Triacastela...). I've never taken the Variant via Luquin. I think I'll try to next time I walk. It sounds good. Thanks for...
