oh 100% - GPS is a gamechanger. I can use a compass/paper maps etc in Ireland, but just look up Wikiloc and hit follow. It will allow you to relax. Remember as well, that 'it will work out', but you do need to ask. I'm brutal at making decisions ahead of time, so my planning problems were my own...
Hi Tasmin - my memory always lets me down, however just throwing this out there. I walked during 2 weeks of Easter maybe 2018. Lots of local tourism, so may places booked out. When I arrived in Vic, I really was stumped at finding someplace. The local tourist office were not one bit helpful, but...

Hi Stikapilgrim and Laurie,
Nice to read your message. I'm fly into Girona from Ireland West on Tuesday and hoping to walk from Llanca with GPS guides from Laurie, or as much as I can cover. (Thank you).

If you happen to have...
