Thanks for all your replies. I love the Alsa busses, but it didn’t appear as an option in Rom2Rio search. I guess I rely to heavily on that search engine.
That’s what I’ll do then.
Does anyone have knowledge of the best way to get to Lisbon from Santiago? So far, my research leads me to think flying, as the bus routes I keep getting are very complicated.
Any help is appreciated, as always.
Are there any hospitals or doctors for peregrinos? I am in León with a broken rib. I would like an x-ray just to make sure the rib isn’t poking into any organs. I do have medical insurance through Allianz.
I know at home it can take up to three weeks to get an appointment, so post is...
Hello!
I am in Sahagún and so far have had no luck in changing my USD to Euros.
In Logroño, Santander & another 2 banks just shrugged & couldn’t (or wouldn’t) tell me where to go.
I will be in León in 2 days. Can anyone tell me a place, close to the Camino, where I can exchange my USD for...

I am arriving at El Prat on May 31.
I plan to take the Renfe to Pamplona & walk to Santiago.
My questions:
If I do not come with Euros in hand, can I use US dollars or a debit card until I find a place to exchange my US dollars for Euros?
Also SHOULD I come with Euros in hand?
Do shops...
Hello!
I am a first time peregrino, walking this June. I am awaiting my Brierly guide book, but wondered if I could ask the following question:
I would like to carry as little as possible. Would a light sleeping bag & a canteen be enough? If the Alberques have bedding, would I even need...
Thanks for your input. Are buses and trains readily available to Pamplona, SJPP? Expensive? What do you think of hitchiking? I haven't done it in 40 years. I'm 69 now. Advisable? Or not?
