Crispi A. WAY MID GTX®

Crispi A. WAY MID GTX®

I am on my second pair of these now, I have actually never been so addicted to any boot or shoe before that I just had to buy the same again when the first pair was worn out. Great for everyday use and light walks and comes in a low and mid (as shown) model. See more at http://www.crispi.it/.

If you have wanted to do some serious walking in Greece, but never dared, did you ever consider taking some guided walks?

Which Hotel Lagos (The Algrave)

A walking holiday based in Lagos could not be made better than by staying at the Albergaria Marina Rio. Perfectly situated more or less AT the bus station and in a short walking distance from the trains. And the old town in just next door.
