Gronze.com

[HeyRobin]

Quick question: is Gronze.com only in Spanish? I have a high school understanding of Spanish and can navigate with some success, but English is my preferred language and I'd like to get as much information from that site as possible because it's so highly regarded.

Yes, it’s only in Spanish. Some web browsers (e.g. Chrone) offer automatic machine translation, which is not perfect but will help.

Yes, it's only in Spanish, but if you use the Chrome browser it will automatically translate to English, or the language of your choice.
Be aware though that Chrome sometimes (mis)translates place names, and sometimes names of albergues.

Just dropped in to say that there are alternatives to gronze which are natively in English, in case chrome isn’t your jam.

Safari on iOS or MacOS also allows for one-click translation of websites.
Just click the little translation icon in the menu bar where the web address is, choose Translate to English, and it will translate the entire site for you as you navigate through.

Thank you everyone! This really helps!

Many web browsers will translate to English. That is how I read it. That said - it also translates some names of albergues to the English words, so you might have to go back and forth a little bit to see the proper names of some albergues. (Like Puente will be translated to Bridge).

Yes, I'm always amused when browsing Gronze in English (as much as I try to always read it in Spanish for practice) and coming across place names like "Queen's Bridge"and "Filmmaker"

My favorite is "Sucker" for Ventosa.

I couldn't believe there was a town called Fifth in Spain. Lodging in Fifth, the camino through Fifth... Untill I understood that the site had translated "Quinto" to English ...

I have gronze set in French for when we walk in France. The funniest I’ve come across is that for Condom they transcribed Préservatif. And for Irún, Je cours.

Camino de Levante on Gronze is "I raised"

Obviously wrong - I raised is levanté.

And I like "Moons" for Lunas on the Arles!
