    RENFE April 2024

    We travelled on Iryo last October from Cordoba to Madrid and then on to Barcelona, and found them to be very good. I have already booked my return train from Madrid to Barcelona in late May for only 11euros I have found Iryo very good I now only need to get to Madrid from SdC when the fares come up.

    Hi vis vests

    Thank you all, the royal decree explained the requirement, and yes as we do here walking in the morning or in inclement conditions you do need to be seen. I not use poles so I’ll look at tape or lights in the front and back of my pack or somewhere.

    Hi vis vests

    Hello, I’m wondering what is the legal requirement and then what happens in practice with hi visibility vests etc. on one hand, looking at many packing lists I don’t think I recall seeing any hi vis vests but then I hear that if you are walking before sunrise you need to where one and you can...

    Growth in pilgrim numbers on the Invierno

    It is not the Compostela which is the question, it is the statistics on which path was walked. Is it recorded as a Frances, Invierno or in Robos case the VDLP, all having walked the Invierno.

    Growth in pilgrim numbers on the Invierno

    So the question is, if I start at SJPdP, walk until the start of the Invierno, then walk the Invierno and the last 100km is on that path, do I still qualify to walk the Camino Frances because I have not walked to SdC via Sarria etc. or do I only qualify for walking the Camino Invierno? Or both?

    Growth in pilgrim numbers on the Invierno

    Would the numbers on the Invierno above, be significantly more as people who walk the Frances and then deviate to the Invierno get their Compostela as a Frances compostelana rather than Invierno?

    US to Paris (CDG) to Pamplona?

    Hi Marska, I’m flying from Melbourne Australia via Singapore to Barcelona. That is cheaper than to Madrid. The train to Pamplona is easy from Barcelona. I chose this start because although Paris is a little cheaper, the connections to SJPdP are more difficult and costly in the French railway.

    SIM card for Europe

    The date is changeable anytime . I put it out further and brought the date in when I needed it. Also the roaming aspect of the plan worked well as it picked up on the network in each town, not being restricted to only one. The support from Australia was a bit of a pain. I’m hoping the esim will...

    SIM card for Europe

    I bought from Simify or formally SimsDirect. Pricing has gone up late last year but found they worked well over a multiple of networks. Never any outages over our travels. I didn’t use calls last time so this time data only and thinking esims would be easier

    SIM card for Europe

    ChrisG1, as a fellow Aussie, I was in Europe for 10 weeks last year. I purchased three SIM cards from Simsdirect in Aust. They were shipped within 5 days express post. They are uk based and you get a uk number which works in 35 European countries. Worked well over many countries during our...
