Thank you for all the helpful replies. You have put my mind at rest. Lesson for all pilgrims is to check your passport expiration date in plenty of time to renew if necessary!
I was on hold 90 minutes with United Airlines today. I was told if my passport does not expire for 3 months after my return ticket to the USA, I will be fine. Since I return on the 27th of September I just make the requirements by 4 days! (My passport expires January 2022.) However, I will...
Forum, thank you so much for this information. Since I got my passport for my 2013 Camino, I thought it would certainly not expire in 2022. It looks like I may be cutting it close but good. I will call the airline and the passport department to double check. You all have been most helpful.
I just realized my passport expires in January of 2022. I leave for Spain Sept. 9th returning on the 27th. There is a long wait for passports and I hate to apply and send my passport in to be renewed. Does anyone have experience with this situation and advice as to what to do? Thanks.
Thanks for this update. "Barajas has a 15 min antigen result for 25 e and are now fully booked for several weeks." Is this test at the airport? Would you be able to tell how to book? Thanks.
Thanks Jan, We may just have to wait until closer to departure. Yes, travel is a bit more complicated these days! Seems like many bus to Pamplona, and that is what we have done in the past. I see the flight from the Madrid airport looks like a good option and would get us to Pamplona earlier...
I am not sure if this is the best place to ask..... Taking a plane to Pamplona Airport that arrives at 1:30pm. Would it be possible to get to the bus station and on the afternoon bus to Saint Jean. I think it would leave around 2:30pm but I have not been able to pull up the schedule. This...
Ivar, my husband and I meet you a few years ago and it was a pleasure! We thank you for the YouTube videos with updates. We know you live in Santiago currently but we wondered where you are originally from. We are keeping our hopes to return in August but have learned to be flexible.
Is "Maribel" in Cizur Menor? Do they take reservations? I will be arriving to Pamplona on Sept 10 and would like to walk and stay in Cizur Menor but would be arriving late afternoon.
I took the Roof Top Tour last October. Easy to sign up for and worthwhile. However, I was not prepared for the slanting roof and height. I, frankly, was very happy to come down to the ground at the end of the tour!
Kate, I walked the Camino Portuguese August/September 2017. It was wonderful and the Portuguise people amazingly kind and generous. I did wear Hoka's and for the most part they were great for all the cobblestones. (and cobbles are endless!) I did put in gook super feet insoles. However, I did...
I walked the Camino Frances in 2013 without one blister. Walked again in 2016 and had some issues with blisters. From the Forum I read of someone who stopped to by Teva sanders on the camino due to blisters. I packed my Teva's and was surprised at how well they worked when I had blisters on...
