    There have been a few posts recently wondering how solitary the Primitivo is, and whether one is liable to meet any young people on it. Folks at El Oasis Primitivo donativo stand have been taking photos of pilgrims visiting their stand and...

    trecile reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread Spain Entry at Immigration with Thank you Thank you.
    I am not sure what you read. It sounds as if you misread something. To clarify: If you have a US passport you do not need a visa for travelling to Spain. And you do not have to provide a list of your accommodations when you enter Spain at Madrid...

    trecile reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Silly way to spend the day? with Like Like.
    As in a proper lunch. Maybe five or six courses, three wines, a digestivo and a prolonged conversation about nothing consequential. The importance of obtaining the correct lentils for the perfect Lentejas or the difference between Morcilla de...

    Come off it. That's an absurd and polarised distinction. Those against it probably just think it's a damn fool idea in the first place. I like to think those endorsing it are doing so just for a laugh. What's next, do the camino on one of them...

    If your train offers it and you pay more for the “Premium” ticket or I think the “Elige Confort” with the add-on you can access the lounge at Chamartin. It’s quiet, has free food and drink 🍺 ☕️ 🥤, the departures are on a screen in front of you...
