- Camino Francis SJdPP to Astorga (Apr 2018)
Astorga to Santiago (Sept 2018);Camino Ingles (2018)
I'm not sure this hasn't already been asked, if so, please be patient with me.
I'm a US citizen who walked the Camino Francis in April and took very sick in Astorga. I tried to get medical attention but the clinic I was sent to refused to help. They asked for health insurance - I only have US health insurance. Even though I had cash and credit card, it didn't work. Therefore, I had to fly home the next day. I'm headed back to complete my camino in September and want to be sure I have some sort of health care insurance in case I get sick again (oh no!).
Help -- what do you all do to avoid this problem?
Many thanks --
