Just landed in Abu Dhabi. It was a good flight but long. It's around 11:30 pm here. The smoking room is at the back of a bar. Next stop Madrid!

I arrived in Bilbao around midday. I walked around quite a bit this afternoon and found the city to be very beautiful. I arrived with no preconceived ideas or knowledge as I was only interested in oneLæs mere

What a great day! I've walked 27kms as I made my way around the city and loved every minute of it. The map I used is threadbare. The Guggenheim exceeded expectations, and the day just got better fromLæs mere

I've just landed in Santiago airport and have hopped into the car that will take me to Sarria. I didn't see any pilgrims at the airport, but I did catch one sign.

I'm finally here. After all those years of thinking about and planning for a Camino; it's finally happening. There were so many of us pilgrims along the Way in the morning, and I have to be honest, itLæs mere
Rejsende Carmel I recognised many of the places in your photos and I have several identical ones of my Camino passing through in June. Thanks for posting I am enjoying reliving it,

We headed out just before 8 a.m. in the dark into a very thick fog. The climb out of Portomarin was lovely, and we seemed to climb for the rest of the day (exhausting). The fog stayed around for ages,Læs mere
Rejsende I love Tinto de Verano. The other drink I also like is Cervasa con limon (San Miguel Radler). It's been very hot today and we drank Tinto de Verano at our early afternoon stop.
Carmel Carlsen I'm glad to find out that the beer with lemon is good. I've been meaning to try it 👍
Rejsende I don't like beer but it was so hot near Rabanal when I stopped for rest and drink. I saw sign Limon at the bar and pointed to order. As they were pouring I noticed the froth and realised I had ordered a beer! Must have been as Ann says San Miguel Radler. It was delicious. 😉
