    Where and how can I break big notes to smaller ones?

    Mine works out to be abt 3-4 Euros for each ATM withdrawal! If only, it didn't cost that much on my side... Otherwise, I agree that it would be the best option!

    Where and how can I break big notes to smaller ones?

    I should have done more research about currency limitation before changing... Where I live, changing some currency before heading overseas is just what most people do.

    I can't get through to Refugio Orisson!

    I managed to booked mine for 19th Sept but it was a pretty long process. The payment link gave a URL error and the emails took a couple of days for them to reply. And with the Paypal confusion, I emailed to double check too. So it took over 2 weeks from booking to confirming but they do get...

    Hello! Wld u happen to know the price range of the trekking poles in SJPdP? I'm thinking whether it's better to buy and travel with them there or to buy it at SJPDP itself...

    Are Walking/Trekking Poles neccesary? Sleeping bag or Sleeping Bag liner

    Hello! I've finally fixed a date to my walk and will be starting my Camino in SJPDP on 19th Sept. I would be taking my time with the walk to Santiago and possibly to Finisterre. With some buffer time factored in, I'll be walking from Sept till early Nov. As such, I'm wondering if...
