A comment on packs. The Spanish do a lot of walking within their largely rural country which is criss-crossed by hundreds of walking trails (as in France too). So maybe they have just got used to carrying the minimum of gear (or have friends/relies transporting it for them). Over many years of motorcycle touring I’ve managed to continuously reduce the amount of baggage strapped on the back – as you say Rob, don’t carry next time what you didn’t use this time – as a last resort you can always buy a shirt or socks in a local store.
They literally carry a tiny nylon bag with a jacket and water bottle, whilst their suitcase is shuttled from stop to stop… 😉
Maybe they have the right idea!!
I guess Vermut ‘on tap’ is their translation of the French Vermouth aperitif – though I’ve never seen it ‘on tap’. Northern Spain is known for its cider – try sampling some..
mmm degustation…
with the amount of alcohol, why are the Europeans not bigger?
Less carbs?
Many are bigger! 😉
