Once away from the holiday costas, you could only be in Spain. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open out to views of daring modern architecture, while spit-and-sawdust bars serving wine from the barrel rub shoulders with blaring, glaring discos.
Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate benign, the people relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit Spain, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

The People We Met
We had plenty of neighbors in Vera, but we only ever met one of our neighbors in our own apartment building (not counting the occasional “Hola” as you pass by in the halls). He was an older gentleman named Carlo who lived ... Read more >

The last leg of our pilgrimage from Padron to Santiago is exciting. As we come across other hikers, everyone is lighthearted and excited about arriving at the Cathedral Santiago de Compostela. We have about 15.5 miles to hike today, the last 3-4 through ... Read more >

After a delightful evening in Caldas de Reis we headed to Padron today. Its a long hike today and inland now so it's a bit warmer. We started early...in the dark. Dumb. Nonetheless, we found our way through town, passing a few fountains and other pilgrims ... Read more >

On the hike into Caldas de Reis we were surrounded by lots of pine and eucalyptus forests and farm land. The paths are fresh with the smell of the eucalyptus and Jeff is enjoying more shade today. We stopped to peel an orange and met Marian ... Read more >

We left "crabby castle" at seven this moring. Since we weren't quite sure if the hosts had actually scheduled us a taxi, we started walking back toward town and the Camino trail about 6:45. Our cab did meet us en route, so we were off to a good start ... Read more >

Sunrise in Vigo Spain
We left Vigo early as it was about 4.5 miles to the edge of town and we hoped to avoid some of the commuter traffic. Since we were "off route" at our hotel, and Carmen was no where to be found, we headed out with ... Read more >
