    How to call a US cell number from the US (when the phone is in Spain)

    are you really sure that you can call an US- number from EU without using the country code? I dont beleave it. Calling from US to your mobilefone, should go without an additional Country code.

    More important than the weight is the wearing comfort

    Sick of Merino! Bamboo instead?

    I have been using normal functional clothing for many years, both as underwear and for shirts and hiking trousers. Durable and quick-drying

    Hiking stick instead of walking poles

    It's all a matter of taste, but we should bear in mind that hiking and walking are different forms of transport. Hiking is actually a faster form of locomotion where the poles are moved in a kind of "milking" motion. Walking (which is usually slower) involves gripping the pole loops from below...

    Aha, as already feared, I am already too stupid for certain applications

    Camino Ninja vs Wise Pilgrim Comparison?

    Don't know the paid Wise app. I have enjoyed working with Gronce for many years. I am having a bit of a hard time using Ninja. The app has a lot of info on local accommodations in addition to maps (but is extremely slow). For me, however, it is (apparently) difficult to find a particular place...

    Mug or not? (and other kitchen ware)

    It is certainly not wrong to have a microwave-safe cup with you, so you can at least make yourself a coffee, tea or instant soup in most hostels

    App that shows which accommodation is on WhatsApp

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    hm, for $180 you can get a new mobile phone, e.g. a Samsung A22. Regardless of how a phone is delivered, it always get a 9H protective glass and a comprehensive protective cover.

    Cracked phone screen - what would you do?

    At four years old, the device is no longer exactly new. It would be too dangerous for me. Now that it still works, I'm sure you can save all your data, apps and settings. Replacing the display of today's devices is not something that can be done easily. I would rather buy a new, possibly...

    Sleeping arrangements on Camino Frances during COVID times

    I will never hike without a sleeping bag. End of April snow behind SJpdP, freezing hostels. Early May Ocebreiro with 20cm snow and mostly unheated hostels. You should not expect blankets to be available

    Where to Buy a Lightweight Down Sleeping Quilt in Madrid?

    If you buy outside the EU and have it sent to Spain, you will most likely have to pay taxes and customs duties. Buen Camino
