This Weekend Watch falls on St. Patrick’s weekend and it has a distinct Irish feel to it. Not only does the video show a good part of Galicia, Ireland’s unofficial fifth province, but this pilgrim arrived at A Coruña before making his way to Sarria where he started his Camino. I look forward to seeing…

My Conversation with Maria from SpanishforCamino.com
I was delighted to be contacted by Maria regarding a possible post on her excellent website SpanishforCamino.com. Her website is full of hints and tips for those looking to improve their Spanish.
