    Mail time from Santiago to Porto.

    Greetings. I will need to send a small package from Santiago de Compostela to a pilgrim at a Porto hotel. About how long will it take to arrive? (I see posts about the opposite route, but I don't assume it's the same information in both directions.) Would I do best to use Correos, FedEx, or some...

    Thanks. Which did you get, 30d sil/pu, 15d sil/pu, or the breathable?

    Camino from Porto - Trekking Poles confiscated at airport!

    Or a balance issue. I need poles on cobbles if I'm carrying a pack due to chemotherapy-induced vertigo. That click-click is me not falling over.

    Quick drying hiking tshirt help

    Merino shirts make me have to scratch my skin off. An REI athletic shirt works fine and doesn't stink.

    "Crying on the Camino" - One-woman show. 18th May and 27th May 2023

    It's a funny and touching show.

    LIVE from the Camino CF-things are not that bad - May 2023

    Thank you. I'm having the same experience of partially-full accommodations, restaurants, and the Camino itself. I'm not at a bottleneck point, which may account for the difference. However, on Booking I see everything from albergue bunks to hotels over €100 in and around Malinaseca/Ponferrada...

    Alertcops has a recent update

    Thanks. To my great pleasure, I was able to activate the app, which is a first!

    Covering your face

    When I visited with a colleague in Vietnam whom I'd met there the year before, she frowned at the tan I'd acquired in Cambodia in the few weeks before seeing her on this trip, asking why I had let myself become so dark and ugly.

    US ATM cards not working

    My credit cards no longer want a travel alert, but the Schwab debit card does (as of April, 2023).

    Nearly Half a Million on the Frances....but....

    I don't use forum sign-ups and since I may be walking in segments, I wouldn't be alerting a pilgrim office or getting a new credencial each time.

    US ATM cards not working

    I don't know and can't vouch for the Facebook poster, but FWIW she says she's in a group, they're all having this problem, they notified their banks and card issuers before leaving, and they've tried multiple banks in multiple towns.

    There was a Korean woman cooking there in May.

    That's still the case.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid passes/masks in Albergues/hotels along the Camino (French route)

    I saw several people without masks refused entry to pharmacies and transportation (for example, the Madrid airport shuttle between terminals, and an Alsa bus). The answer is "Yes, you need to have a mask, even if you don't need to wear it all the time."

    Camino de Santiago Bibliography

    A little late to the game, but please add my memoir, "Cancer, Kintsugi, Camino" by Shoshana Kerewsky.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid passes/masks in Albergues/hotels along the Camino (French route)

    Many Spanish people in the groceries and other stores are masking, and many baristas/store clerks. Pilgrims, not so much.
