HBS60 reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners with
Like.
The Guardia Civil returning things? My how the world has changed 😊. I don’t suppose there’s much point in asking if they’ve found the small bundle of peseta they relieved me of in 1969? For those who wonder how safe it is to wander the Camino -... -
HBS60 replied to the thread Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners.I ALREADY loooove the Camino, without even being there yet! I just hate the thought of it being ruined by thieves. Also, it may be a matter of temperament and bad experiences. Throwing caution to the wind has resulted in dire consequences for me...

Any small retail store will have them. Lots of members referred to chino shops. The store owners do understand "travel adaptor". I got one in Puente la Reina when mine got accidentally wet and all USB ports shortened out (the only thing i was...

A CE mark merely shows that the device is to EU standards and therefore can be sold in the EU. One can buy adapters in any hypermarket - the problem I once had in buying in Spain is that they were almost exclusively EU adapters to use abroad, so...

HBS60 replied to the thread Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners.Thanks! I know it may come across this way, but I’m not quaking in my boots, staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night, ruminating on each possibility, I’m just unfamiliar with international travel, and things have changed over the years...

If the reviews are to be believed, it should be OK, but that’s just an if, who knows whom/what to trust? If I must buy one when I get to Spain...

HBS60 replied to the thread Musical instruments on the Camino..I’m an advanced amateur classical pianist, but I’ve always wanted to learn guitar, as it is decidedly more portable than a piano. Maybe I’ll get an opportunity to learn a chord or two. I would definitely love to hear guitar music, as it reminds...

HBS60 replied to the thread Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners.Thanks! I can certainly do the copies and scanned versions, but still, what if I’m in the middle of nowhere, like the Meseta? Do I have to interrupt my trip and go all the way to the embassy in Madrid? A more specific nightmare is having my...

HBS60 replied to the thread Guardia Civil returning lost passports to owners.I’m so glad to hear this, as it’s actually my very worst nightmare, having my passport lost or stolen, leaving me stranded and unable to return home to the US*. I know that this does happen and that it can be resolved, but I know I’ll panic, not...

HBS60 replied to the thread La Tuna in Santiago.Oohh! Ahhh! I’m sooo looking forward to this! Where I grew up, we also had Tunas, which typically were very active during the Christmas season. They would release new songs each year that we would sing in our “Parrandas”.This is something I...
