Starting from Canada on 21/8

Arrived at CDG and Cleared Customs and immigration and walked to the TGV station. Total time from plane to train station 45 minutes. On my way to St. Jean.

Do you not have to isolate at all ? Did you have to certify being double vaccinated? Only asking because I’m Canadian and desperate to head to the Camino. Buen Camino !!

What covid documents did you use?

Did you receive your QR code yet Bill?

 

[Martin Doyle]

I followed the protocol and received my "pass sanitaire^ or French health psss before I left home. Easy. This the French QR code document.

How long did it take from application submission till you got the QR Code? Where are you from?

 

[Martin Doyle]

I am from BC and it took 2 days to get the French Health Pass

I am answering, as I’m leaving for the Camino Mozarabe on Sept. 2nd from Vancouver, going to Almeria. You don’t have to isolate. You should bring a proof of your 2 vaccines and fill up that info. https://www.spth.gob.es/. Whenever you go, have a great Camino.

As noted above I applied for and received the French Pass Sanitaire which I was required to show on arrival at CDG and when checking in to the Albergues in St Jean and Orrisson. I am now in Roncesvalles and they did not ask for any data. I did not have to isolate because of the health pass.

 

[Martin Doyle]

Obviously different rules for France vs Spain

 

[S.Duffenais]

Still waiting for Passe Sanitaire. I leave on Thursday, So stressful.

 

[Martin Doyle]

Mine took 2 days so I have no helpful suggestions

I think they spin a wheel and choose who they grant the QRCode to… lol

Yes, that‘s why I answered as I didn’t know which Camino Martin888 was thinking about. Buen Camino to you.

I have run into some small issues with Albergues that are closed when i had expected them to be open. I did not book ahead for Uterga but no problem as I arrived around 13:30. I hoped for the same in Lorca but both Albergues are closed, as well in Villatuerta.. An extra 9.9 km at the end of a warm day to Estrella. I have booked for tomorrow. I will comment further as I go.

I am now in Rabanal del Camino and I am booking ahead due to so many Albergues being closed. In Rabanal at least 50% ate closed. I am trying to book 3 days ahead. It's not as enjoyable as my 2 previous Caminos
