Villafranca del Bierzo and especially Herrerias are two of my favorite towns along the Camino Frances. Tricastella is nice too. Yuck to O Ceibrero.
But I don't think any of those towns are especially easy to get to. Maybe buses. I think you...
OK. Here's a suggestion. From Pamplona take the train or bus to Burgos. From Burgos bus to Leon. From Leon bus to Lugo. From Lugo bus to Sarria. Probably do-able in two days. You'll be mostly following the route of the Camino Frances and you'll...
You already looked at Rome to Rio. And Rome to Rio is great, although I found for complicated itineraries that it's best to check several sources. Below are other websites and apps you should have in your planning toolbox.

Things get whipped up I guess. Hysteria sells! It’s a good and very visual story. I’ve certainly clicked a few times. It reminds me very much of the immigration reporting by the UK media. >99% of the coverage is focused on <1% of the...
It's not detective work. It's just reading.
1.5% for all of Barcelona does not tell you, for example, that the relevant numbers amount to 12% in some barrios of Barcelona and to 0.3% in other barrios (as % of all rented accommodation In...
These statistics don't sound quite as awful as I'd thought. It now has me wondering why the big protest march in Barcelona and Alicante. Possibly the locals in particular are just plain tired of all the throngs of tourists that are increasing...
