    Overcrowded Camino Frances

    We were told the other day that there are 1000 pilgrims in total among the various Caminos starting out each day. How disappointing to see the Frances loved to death. I highly recommend the Norte. The length is about the same as the Frances, and not so crowded. As your friend is already in the...

    Arco de Caparra hotel transfer

    Hi Ferga, Do they use that App in Spain? I have suggested the What3Words app to people back home in Australia and many have not heard of it . Hi, Rita. Yes, the walk is an option - I think about 6km - but I had already booked the pick up the previous night and was nursing a hip injury and trying...

    Arco de Caparra hotel transfer

    Be careful when you organise a transfer from the Arca de Caparra (Via’s emblem) to one of the three hotels in Jarilla. The guide books we are using state that you will be picked up at ARCA DE CAPARRA/SHELTER. There was also an advertisement at accommodation in Carcaboso for Hostal Asturias in...

    LIVE from the Camino Conditions on Via de la Plata

    Hi Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but anyone who is planning to stay at the Albergue municipal Miliario del Verdinal at Alden Del Canó (between Alcuéscar and Valdesalor) should be warned that it is closed for renovations. We turned up today - 18 April 2024 - to discover this.

    Bank verification with Spanish SIM

    Hi David, Yes online was the main issue that I had in Spain and Wise gives you the option to have verification via email in the settings. My bank in Australia will not use email. My husband sat on the phone to Australia in San Sebastian at 2 am for 3 hours in the hotel concierge to get our...

    Bank verification with Spanish SIM

    When walking on the Norte I needed to pay for a rail ticket and some accommodation online but two step verification became a problem and I ended up using PayPal. For the Via De La Plata & Sanabrés I have set up a WISE card with the App on my iPad. Using the card for online booking and two step...
