    Municipal albergues in March open?

    I am planning Porto to Santiago in March, wondering if most accommodation is open, especially municipal accommodation? Related: are there stages where no available? I plan to go slow, do shortest stages possible in general to maximize time in villages etc. Thought to start on coast out of...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Question regarding Covid, Spanish border

    Wow- Wow- thank you so much! All these details are what kept me from pulling the trigger on expensive tickets. You have been an immense help- wisdom of the crowds. I still may have to decide "not this year", but at least not for the wrong reasons

    I am from the USA (USA passport) living in Australia. I am able to enter the Schengen area if I come from Australia (it is one of the 14 or so permitted countries right now).

    Lightweight sleeping bag October - November 2020

    Hey thanks Graham for the reply! I was about to give up on my plans, trying to decide right now. Do you think it will be quite empty, and you are fine with that? Or do you think it will still somehow manage to be somewhat gregarious (although obviously much different than normal)? "Low"...

    Lightweight sleeping bag October - November 2020

    I had also planned to walk through October, early Nov, but another thread on here was pretty discouraging regarding early closures of albergues etc bc of the recent surge in Covid cases.
