    Water sources Camino de Fisterra

    Hi Looking for information here on the availability of water fountains on this route. Is it comparable to the camino ingles where there are fountains every 4-8kms? Thanks Simon

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What would you do?

    a colleague of mine was flying from Bilbao during the week - at the testing center a group of 5 people mid 20s tested positive - they were directed into a separate room where they were given the available options for quarantine in the locality.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What happens if you test positive in Spain?

    Its a classification system - Dark red = high-risk - my understanding is that this infers travel only if essential. Obviously diiferent countries have different rules based on individual criteria.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What happens if you test positive in Spain?

    based on the current advice the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control recommends against all but essential travel to pretty much all of Spain

    LIVE from the Camino The Camino Needs You.

    likely to be more rule changes due to the current surge unfortunately. I am hoping by October with 70-80% fully protected then things may be more stable.

    Possible to walk May 2021

    Inter regional travel is not possible also the infection rate is rising and Easter may possibly have a negative effect on this. The last I heard is that Spain wants approx 40% of the population vaccinated before restarting tourism. To early to book anything for May at this stage...

    Plans for 2021?

    Was due to finish the northern camino from Gijon starting end of May 2021 - cancelled this. Will re-access later in the year to see if sept/oct will be possible but wouldn't be surprised if 2021 is a non-runner.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santiago closes down today (Fri Oct 30) from 15.00

    Exactly which closed the camino - also pilgrims had to reroute on the northern camino near Ribadeo earlier in the Summer. Your earlier point is factually incorrect. Your opinion or mine on the virus is immaterial.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santiago closes down today (Fri Oct 30) from 15.00

    A friend on mine on the camino Portuguese had to turn back and return to Porto in March as the border was closed and crossing at TUI prohibited - so I think you will find they can and have been closed before.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD On the Camino, now what?

    yes is meant as travel across the affected region without stopping in between.

    The Ireland Way

    Nearest flights from Dublin would be direct to Santiago or Santander. There is also a weekly ferry Rosslare to Bilbao but not sure if this is operating currently.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Portugal’s covid status updated here

    i wouldn't say its hype there are also the practical/logistical issues - likely more areas will be locked down which will directly affect the Camino route on both sides of the border. The trend now unfortunately has deteriorated in last 3 weeks and likely to get worst before better.
