    What's with the big bulls on the hills?

    Yes! They are the last remaining "billboards" for Osborne brandy. They are iconic. When I was a small child visiting family in Spain (I'm 57 now), my father would make it a game to spot all the Osborne bulls as we drove the long roads. Alas, many of them are gone now. You can read more here...

    PSA: Wear Chacos!

    Just adding my own experience to this thread. I walked my first Camino, from SJPP to Finisterre, this April through early June. I did half of it in my Chacos (with the wrap around the big toe) and the other half in my waterproof La Sportiva Spires. I can't attest to why or how, but I can say I...

    Walking Dec. 2022/Jan. 2023?

    I am THINKING about walking the central Portuguese Route starting December 28th, starting from Porto. It's not my first choice of times to walk, but I'm at the mercy of my work schedule. Anyone else thinking of walking during this less-than-ideal time? I did the Camino Frances from SJPP this...

    Walking Dec. 2022/Jan. 2023?

    Anyone planning to walk the Portuguese Route late December into early January 2022/2023? I don't see those months posted on the start day calendar.

    Taxi reserved from Pamplona Airport to SJPDP on April 21, 2022 at 13:30

    I just got the same message. Great! Safe travels. Also, I have about a 3-hour layover in Madrid before boarding my (our?) noon flight to Pamplona. If you want to meet up, get some coffee or whatever, just let me know. P.S. My cell phone is 1-804-304-4200. You can text me on WhatsApp also.

    Taxi reserved from Pamplona Airport to SJPDP on April 21, 2022 at 13:30

    Hi. I'm in communication with another woman arriving at the Pamplona train station at 3:30 , and she has a taxi reservation and is interested in sharing the ride. May I connect the two of you? I have her email address. If you send me yours, I can connect you that way.

    Taxi reserved from Pamplona Airport to SJPDP on April 21, 2022 at 13:30

    Sounds like a plan. When I made my reservation with them, I expressly stated I would welcome the opportunity to share a ride with others. My guess is it will all work out. I look forward to meeting you. Safe travels.

    Taxi reserved from Pamplona Airport to SJPDP on April 21, 2022 at 13:30

    Hi. I have a reservation with TeleTaxi San Fermin to pick me up at the airport at 13:00. I'm flying in to Pamplona from Madrid on American Airlines #8683 (noon to 1 p.m.) Will you be on that flight? I told them 13:30 would be a better time, but they wrote 13:00 on the reservation. Another woman...

    Pamplona to SJPP: Seeking ride share for first Camino on April 21st

    My first time too. 2 leki trekking poles. I'm flying with my backpack as carryon, but checking a long box with my poles, a pocket knife and a few toiletries that are over 3 ounces. Hopefully they'll arrive when I do! I just looked up your email address. You're a New Yorker, aren't you?! I'm a...

    Pamplona to SJPP: Seeking ride share for first Camino on April 21st

    OK. When I contact them, I will reference my Teletaxi reservation number. Do you have one that I can share in the email with them to reference that you are the passenger I am trying to ride share with? Additionally, it may make sense when I email them to copy you. Would you mind sharing your...

    Pamplona to SJPP: Seeking ride share for first Camino on April 21st

    Hi, Amy. Last week I reserved Teletaxi San Fermin, also. My plane lands at 1 p.m. and they are schedule to pick me up after I collect my checked poles. I would be willing to ask Teletaxi to pick me up a bit later, like 2:30, and then drive to the train station to get you, so we can ride share...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD NEW Testing at the Santiago airport SCQ

    Resolved! Credit card was blocking me from an international transaction, even though they were texting an auto generated code to confirm it was me. They finally texted me a real message, not a code, asking if I was trying to make an international transaction, and to click YES, if I wanted to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD NEW Testing at the Santiago airport SCQ

    If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I've tried to reserve and pay online for my COVID test at the Santiago airport. It won't process any of my cards (Capital One Visa and 2 different MasterCards). Capital One is texting me a code to confirm the transaction, which I'm entering on the order...

    Hi. I know this does not answer your question, but just wanted to let you know I'll be starting out a day behind you and finishing up at the same time. I'm a newbie too. I hope our paths cross. :)
