    Best way from SDC to Lisbon

    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.

    Best way from SDC to Lisbon

    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.

    Medical Problem

    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...

    Help with $ —>€

    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...

    L9

    Is there a metro from terminal 1 El Prat to terminal 2 where I can catch the R2 Nord Renfe train to Barcelona Sants? The only other option I see is a bus.

    Jesús y María

    Thank you everyone! I thought as much & I like it (unless I can’t get a space on the floor); but, as a pilgrim, I really don’t like the idea of “The Reservation.” I leave Wednesday!

    Jesús y María

    Are you able to reserve a bed at Jesus y Maria in Pamplona, or us it first come first serve? If you can, what is the best way? I already tried emailing, but that was ignored. I need a bed for 5/31.

    Non Cell Phone Calls

    But these WhatsApp calls need to be calls to another mobile phone, right? You couldn’t call a landline?

    A few lingering questions

    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...

    No Pack

    Just a wild & crazy question: Has anyone walked the Camino sans backpack & lived to talk about it? Barry

    What to take--nuevo peregrino

    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...

    Barcelona Mistake?

    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?
