    Via Serrana Apps and Maps

    Good day I am starting the Via Serrana from La Linea early April. I get lost easily and wonder if a GPS App for this route exists? If not, is there a guide for this route that somebody can recommends? I may be wrong, but it seems to me that there are not sufficient arrows to keep one on track. I...

    de la Plata from Africa

    Good day Thank you for the advice! - I decided to take the route you recommended from La Linea. Was it difficult to keep on track, or easy to get lost? Also, do you know about any Apps that covet this route? Thanks in advance.

    de la Plata from Africa

    Donating in donativos

    With what you say, your conscience, etc, you do not have to feel bad.... Its a donativo, and that what it is. I walked the Norte, and at one place, the deposit box at the donativo, (which was see-through) was watched by the hospitaeros. I also stayed at a place during my Frances, where it was...

As I am worried about accommodation availability (I cannot stay in expensive places if that is the only places available), I was wondering if I should bring my tent along? On the other hand I do not want to carry the extra weight if I...

    Schengen Requirement to show €100 per day upon entry to Spain?

    You misunderstood me - I made a statement, I did not asked a question. This is about my 6th application for a Schengen Visa, so I am familiar with the procedures. That will also be the reason that I got my visa now is valid for years.

    Schengen Requirement to show €100 per day upon entry to Spain?

    I think somewhere there's a misunderstanding - If, at the time of application for my visa, I proofed I have enough funds available, why would I be interrogated about funds at the airport?? I even got my visa for an extended period...

    Schengen Requirement to show €100 per day upon entry to Spain?

    When I applied for my visa I had to proof that I have enough money, based on the days I will spend in Spain. So I assume I dont have to proof balances anymore..
