    Camino Mozarabe from Almeria Sept 4

    The recommendation to use WhatsApp to contact the association’s number is really only so they can give you the door code to gain entrance to their string of albuergues from Almeria to Granada. Use country code. They really are tremendously helpful “ Camino angels” and from Granada onwards their...

    late night arrive in Porto - accommodation suggestions?

    We stayed here right at the airport when we landed late on a Ryanair flight a month ago. Cost about €60 for a double but reception all night, complimentary beer, tea , coffee etc in room and then they knocked on the door with a pink bubbly and cake gift! A stamp in our credential in the morning...

    Obtain the QR-CODE before you arrive in Santiago.

    I was blessed then as I wasn’t sure I’d have time for the whole process in the morning. And I’d been lucky at the 12 o’clock mass too when I happened to be in a great spot for the swinging of the Botafumeiro.

    Obtain the QR-CODE before you arrive in Santiago.

    I was also lucky after arriving from the Portuguese on Tuesday. I went to the office just before 7 thinking I’d get my QR code and be ready for a hopefully early appointment the following morning but was given a number and hurried through to the counters where I was given the paper form and was...

    Thanks Daniel but were you in municipal albuergues as Happy Penguin says no blankets in them in Galicia?

    Sleeping bag on Coastal?

    Thanks for that info folks. Guess I’ll have to man up and shoulder the extra KG’s. Glad to hear about the new ferries as it will mean we don’t have to rush to get over on the Sunday.

    Sleeping bag on Coastal?

    After finding similar previous threads I realise it’s a pretty unanswerable query but I’d still like to know if most of the albergues have blankets available at the mo (post Covid?!?)

    Sleeping bag on Coastal?

    Hi, we’ll be setting off from Porto airport to walk the coastal and spiritual on April 28th and plan to stay ( mostly) in municipal albergues. As usual a packing quandary has emerged. Will we need sleeping bags? Will the albergues have blankets? What are temperatures likely to be in them? I’ve...
