    How to transport backpacks

    Everyone need to so the Camino their own way. It's about the journey, not the miles or how many kilos you carry. Shouldn't make people feel inferior if they need a transport. There are all sorts of injured, disabled or elderly who need options. This is intended for anyone, no judging!!🙏😍

    Yes I went through As Cruces.There is 1 bar open about halfway with a small grocery store and coffee, beer, etc. Otherwise a long but easy walk through soft terrain.

    LIVE from the Camino Transport service Baamonde to Sobrado on Norte

    Many albergues are OPEN. I did not stay in a single one that was full.....most had plenty of space except for local tourist areas like Zarautz, Santanilla. Most pilgrims booked the night before without problem. Most places accepting touchless payment with gpay or applepay...I rarely use cash...

    The current situation of albergues along the Norte

    I am on Norte noe. I was surprised how many are open. I made reservations early this year bc there was almost nothing. But friends on the Norte now had almost no problem searching the night before. Couple of locations where it was tough for them around Zarautz, Deba and Santanilla bc it's...

    Revolut instant debit card for intl use

    You can order a free plastic Revolut as well. I am truly amazed how many shops take contactless payment for ANY amount. Cash no longer king but you still need a bit for laundry, tips, entry fee for touristy stuff, etc

    From the US, I was getting hammered with ATM fees in Spain to get euros cash. Plus crappy exchange rates, blablabla. I finally got clued into Revolut....downloaded the app and in 5 minutes had euro exchanged and in my preloaded virtual card. Any place that accepts credit card omt on Norte, and...

    New digital Credential is introduced from the Cathedral.

    https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/pilgrimage/the-credencial/ There's an app for that!!! But I think the albergue has to digitize their stamp..they can do it at the website link above. Otherwise we are still stuck with manual stamps

    Recycle on Norte Camino and they will plant a tree

    Wonderful eco-friendly program on Camino to help preserve the Camino in Asturias. Look for albergues with brightly colored tall boxes for recycling. Pick up an Ecoperegrino credential and yellow geocery bag, have it stamped at three locations participating in this program (it's a different stamp...

    Jul 25 Mass in Santiago COVID limits

    Yes, I speak decent Spanish and know the Mass well, so say the responsorials by heart in English ...just sometimes hard to appreciate the nuances of the homily 🥴
