Thanks so much for the great information. I didn't know that if I got a spanish SIM card with a Spain phone number that to text a U.S. phone number would be included in the plan!! Certainly wouldn't be that way with any cellular plans in the U.S. Very surprising!!
Thanks!...like I said... Not very techie :). Can I use Skype if we do not have a landline at home? We eliminated that this year. Any ideas for communicating with my hiking partners if we get separated? Guess we could use What's App if Wifi is available. I guess Spanish SIM cards don't allow...

Thanks for your suggestion! I wish we had an option to fly into Orly from our US airport, but that isn't available to us so we would fly to CDG and then need to take the bus to catch the connecting flight to Biarritz ( unfortunately there are no longer any flights to Biarritz from CDG) . It is...
Hello, thank you so much for providing such a wonderful website and forum. I have found them to be very informative and helpful in planning our trip to the Camino. I've come up with two possible itineraries using the information that I found and would really appreciate it if you could look at...
