Metholated Spirits/ Denatured Alcohol In Spain.

Where would you buy it? Here you used to get it from chemists.

[dominie]

Still at the chemists I think

[Old_Geezer]

Spanish chemists ? Try the pharmacy maybe. You on your hols ?

[sandyRoe]

It's a question on another forum. Someone wants to know where you'd buy it in rural Spain.

Are you fitness ready for this walk? Is there a group of you going? Take your mobile. Are the toilets on the route or do you use bushes? Are there cyber Café along the route?

If I am going anywhere I can make huge lists of things that can go wrong. I make myself ill worrying about the journey and my cats.

[sandyRoe]

I'm as fit as I'll ever be. I'm going on my own but you usually meet up with other people and walk stretches of the way with them. I won't bring a phone. I want to get away for a while. Mostly bushes where you can find one. Otherwise you expect passers by to avert their eyes. I'm told the cyber cafes are closed now as most people have their phones.

Wolf63, the only thing I might worry about would be my dog. But I know it will be well looked after so...No worries. :-)

Sandy - think about the greeting you will get when you go home. Cats don't usually get that excited, but if I am late home I gets nagged and bulled.

How is your sister doing? You seem much more chirpy/outgoing without the stress of worrying. You are a good person. ☺

Sandy, please get a pay as you go phone to take with you in case of emergencies, take care and good luck x

[Peter Pedant]

try an iron monger

Wolf63, things are looking up and I feel as though a great burden has been lifted off my shoulders.
There's a document you take called a credential which allows you to take a bed in a pilgrim hostal. You get it stamped to show you've walked and also it serves as a souvenir. There's an area of Dublin called St James Gate. In the past it must have been where the pilgrims set sail to Spain. Now it's the site of the Guinness brewery and there's also a St James church nearby. I'll use my free pensioners travel to go down later this week and get my credential stamped. Both Guinness and the church offer a stamp and it seems only right, as drink has played a much bigger part in my life than religion, that the honour of the first stamp should go to the brewers of the black stuff.

Psybbo, I'll but a SIM card when I get there and use it in my phone

[wolf63]

Credentials = are you a catholic?

Enjoy your 'freedom'.

Wee girl doggy will be having her own holiday when you are away.

:-D
