    Has Cafe con leche changed in Spain?

    No, speaking words is my friend. That would be SWIMF in the new language.

    My experience using booking agency for accommodation & bag transport

    My only recommendation is to not book the dinners so you can eat where and when you want with your new friends. Even the casa ruals will let you pay when you are there. I also found if it’s a place you have to call for a ride try to do it before siesta time. They don’t answer their phones...

    The regular Camino booking places are no where near the cost.

    LIVE from the Camino Foot care - searching for 2 items

    I’ve found that paper tape works the best for me. Just put in layers and slip on socks. It will also stay in place on toes for days. I did always have to ask for papel tape to get it.

    Opening new credit card for the bonus (plus airlines question)

    I do like them because they have so many flights out of Phoenix. Their credit card has no foreign transactions fee which saves money.

    Opening new credit card for the bonus (plus airlines question)

    I use a Charles Schwab card as a debit card for no fees. My credit card is an American Airlines miles card and all 6 on my trips have been free and 1st class. Very easy to get miles.

    A question about walking sticks...

    I just finished walking from Sarria to Santiago and the most surprising thing I saw in almost all the trinket shops was that they sold rubber tips for poles. 1€ and not enough people bought them. They were everywhere even the little market had them. And back to the original question. I think...

    Queueing at pilgrims office

    Yes. I was there Tuesday and filled everything out and wanted to wait until the next day as it was my birthday and wanted that date on my Compostela. I came back the next morning about 830 and was #14 when they opened and was done by 915.

    Money exchange - current rates

    I just opened one to see if the hype was real and I think it is. I went to 3 different ATMs and each one charge me a service fee. When I go to a bank I try to look at the symbols and only use at a bank that matches what's on my card but the Schwab card does not have them so I just used it and...

    Money exchange - current rates

    Is he getting .77 cents Euro for a dollar American? .77 euro cents costs .84 cents American dollar. This is on Xe Currwncy app. This is the rate given to the banks best customers which isn't us ordinary people. So if every dollar he got .77 euro it probably isn't to bad. Last year the rate was...

    Credential: first stamp and starting date

    Looking at my old credentials I have tended to collect stamps before I started walking. In 2018 I went to Paris for a week before I started walking and the 1st stamp I had on my Credential is from Norte Dame. The 1st page of the Credential is where you put your starting date and place. That is...
