    Is the Pyrenees route still closed until April 1st?

    Thanks for your reply. Yes I’m in California (no surprise! lol). I’ve actually walked both the Pyrenees and the Valcarlos but it was some time ago before the change in rules. I preferred the Pyrenees. The scenery was beautiful and I had a lovely day to see it. But happy to walk the Valcarlos...

    Is the Pyrenees route still closed until April 1st?

    Thank you for clarifying. I wasn’t sure what to make of it. It’s hard to tell tone by text. I just saw caps and thought they were angry. I’m older and will stick with the rules. Don’t want to end up on the six o’clock news! lol.

    Is the Pyrenees route still closed until April 1st?

    It was only a question! I haven’t been on the Camino in a long time and that was the last I heard. I only wanted an update.

    Is the Pyrenees route still closed until April 1st?

    Hi everyone. Does anyone know if they still have the Pyrenees route closed until April 1st? I enjoy a winter Camino and hence prefer to start earlier, but it’s been a while and didn’t know if the rules had changed.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Is the mask required in the albergue and while sleeping?

    Good question. It’s middle of the night in Spain so everyone likely asleep. Hopefully you will get a reply in a few hours.

    What causes people to stop their caminos?

    My husband and I walked part of the Camino together in 2015. We hit problems pretty quickly as we both had different expectations that we didn’t realize we had before we left. I like to walk quickly, ponder, and talk to God. He wanted to walk slowly and take pictures constantly which drove me...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD News from the USA Embassy in Madrid regarding June 7 (for USA citizens)

    So disappointed to hear, UK just announced they are staying closed until approx July 19th. So you are right, I think Camino first is the right, and maybe only way to go right now. My brother is in Wales and I had really hoped to see him. Will see how things look at a later date. Thank you for...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD News from the USA Embassy in Madrid regarding June 7 (for USA citizens)

    I just read this on USA Today news network ‘Americans and many other non-EU nationalities cannot come to Spain for tourism for now.’ So I think you have to have a ‘compelling’ reason if you are not vaccinated.

    CDC just updated Spain to level 3. Ok to go with vaccinations. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/covid-3/coronavirus-spain#vax

    I read that although his vaccination status hasn’t been confirmed one way or another, that he would not have been required to take daily COVID testing if he was vaccinated. You’re right though, a very expensive lesson! He possibly lost out on over $1.6 million.

    Good question about the insurance coverage. I would probably clarify with the company insuring you just incase.

    This is a question I’m trying to answer too. I want to fly to the UK first to see family but things are kind of up in the air there right now with the Indian variant. Debating whether to do Camino first then go home to the UK.
