You might find somewhere in the larger towns, I was not looking for that type of service so I can't comment but you could try Googling it for the larger towns. I did what most others have said above, I kept the SD cards and downloaded to a mini iPad, it was nice and light to carry and it worked...
The two reviews are great and I will keep them in mind for hopefully my next Camino, however I have to disagree with your comments on Hotel Gaudi, I can assure you our beds did not slope and everything was very clean, The lady at reception did not speak english and this can be frustrating for...
I too used a Cannon digital, I also took with me a mini iPad and downloaded each evening and of course do not need Wifi, just in case I did not delete the my card's. As soon as I got home they automatically downloaded to my laptop from my iPad, I did take a lot of photos not as many as you...
I completed my Camino at the end of September 2013, and I too hope it is only my first. I flew into Barcelona from Sydney, had 2 days recovering from jet lag and then caught the train to Pamplona. We started from Pamplona but originally were to start from SJPP and we were to get a taxi from...
I walked last September from Pamplona, the walk from Sarria I think is fine if you wear good walkers, I did not use hiking boots, I used Nordic walkers that were well broken in, also Injinji toe socks and did not have a blister. However the walkers had to be thrown away at the end as they were...
One of the most memorable nights of my Camino was staying in the Parador in Lyon, I am so glad we splurged for the night though I don't think it was expensive but compared to our other other accommodation is was, "Parador Hostal San Marcos" and the price I think was 110 Euros and included a...
After reading all the posts re Cafe con Leche I am definitely the odd person, I was so looking forward to enjoying Cafe con Leche's alas, did not enjoy them at all, I admit I like my coffee quite strong & I don't drink instant, in Italy love the coffee but it is not hot enough. After trying 6...
In my younger days I have used a Trangia stove and think they are wonderful, however you also have the added chore of shopping for your needs for each meal or adding weight to your pack with ingredients. My own business in my younger years heavily involved food and I love it, BUT not having to...
I walked last September and though not a beer drinker I did gather it was good and well priced. I too like nice food and you will find at times when in a small village you will not have a huge choice in food and the Pilgrim meals are hit and miss but that is part of the Camino and you just...
I agree with you, I walked last September and I used Nordic Walking Shoes, I had them for quite a while and and had some use but I trained in them before I left and used good walking Toe Socks - they were extremely comfortable and really great to walk in and did not even consider getting a new...
