Yes! As of October 1 no masks are required either, except in hospitals and maybe public transport (most people were wearing them yesterday when I came in). Also, I had to fill out forms when coming from Germany (I’d been there two weeks but am American) and they wouldn’t confirm either way if I...
Leaving Vigo Monday but having some issues finding a bed along the main stages of this route. Any fave albergues or route suggestions since many of you are on/ recently finished? Many thanks!
Thanks! If you, or anyone, has suggestions for stages after Vigo, would love suggestions. Already it seems many Alburgues along the normal sections must be sold out- many haven’t responded though they say they are open. Thanks again!
Thank you for the info! Are you planning ahead your accommodations or winging it? This ones my first in this area so a bit nervous with the ever changing rules. :)
Hi all- hope this hasn’t been asked before. I’m a US citizen, with cdc card, flying into Porto from Frankfurt, but I’ve been in the EU 21 days. Anyone know if I still need a test prior to boarding? The website doesn’t clearly state and I know with Italy if I’ve been in the EU (over 14 days) a...
Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I need to do the same from Vigo, I arrive from Porto that day by train and am hopeful there’s an office to do this in Vigo the day I arrive/leave?
Thanks!!
Thank you- this information is great. The days prior it simply says there’s a 7:15 but “the requested train is not available at the moment- check back later” - at least that’s the translation. I get a bit of motion sickness so hoping to avoid a longer bus ride…
Hi everyone, my apologies if this has been asked recently, but my search feature is simply not working.
I am looking at the Renfe schedule from Madrid to either Sarria or Lugo for a starting point (limited time). Every time I’ve used it, it’s been full of glitches and gives errors, so not sure...
This is super helpful! As a solo walker with limited time I am considering starting from Lugo or just before, and continuing on to Muxia or Finesterre (I am not entirely set on needing another official document of completion, but it would be nice if possible). I have done the Sarria route (which...
Would love to hear personal accounts, especially from solo female walkers, on if they would suggest further postponing or going for it this fall. Good and bad, lessons learned, are so appreciated. (I plan to return for a solo walk in Sept/Oct as I did back in 2019, but for only two weeks this...
Thank you, will definitely check it out.
so true! I don’t have enough time to do a full route and am still debating which to take- might stick to Frances since I feel there will be more open places to stay - hopefully. I’ve done Sarria-Finesterre previously and am sure whatever I do will be...
Hi everyone, my apologies if this question has been addressed recently.
In light of Covid restrictions continuing indefinitely, is there an actively updated list of open albergues that includes restrictions (I.e.- book ahead, reduced numbers of bookings accepted, no dinners, etc.)?
I’m looking...
