    Low fee ATMs. Where

    I am surprised by this assertion (but not surprised that it is promoted by Revolut, which, if I remember, is not maintaining any ATM...). Perhaps the sentence means that your card issuer can charge you, then resend the fee to the ATM bank ? Indeed the ATM bank cannot give you less notes you...

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    In which country ?

    Low fee ATMs. Where

    No, in France, withdrawals are generally not invoiced. Generally your bank allows several "foreign withdrawals" (ie withdrawals from another bank) without fees. However a problem of equity is raised by digital banks without ATMs (N26, Revolut...): they rely upon their competitors to provide the...

    A famous movie by Wim Wenders is called Paris, Texas.

    Your most valuable stamp

    You can get a wax stamp in a bar of O Pedrouzo.

    Your most valuable stamp

    My preferred stamp is hand-designed, from a nice donativo in Gers, between Eauze and Nogaro.

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    Disculpe, pero I think que es mas "disculpe". Google claims that "desculpe" es la palabra portuguesa para "Lo siento" (sorry),

    The Pilgrim’s Guide to Etiquette

    Note that Decathlon, for instance, sells red light headlamp. When you have to get up during the night, it helps avoiding waking up the others.

    Sello (stamp) Obsession: Is there a medical term for this?

    Sello obsession is a known disease. It is named "sigillopathy". Fortunately, I can cure it (I am among the few recognized sigillotherapists). Basically, the treatment consists of drinking lots of beers in my company, leaving your credential on the bar table: sooner or later, it will be stained...

    Medication woes

    My advice is to transfer liquids from glass bottles to small plastic cruets, in order to get a not so heavy backpack.

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    In the Tourism Office of Burgos, you will find some help in english. Perhaps also in the municipal next to the cathedral.

    EU Ruling On Bookings.Com

    IMHO, all the intermediate (between pilgrims and hospitaleros) on the Camino should be avoided when possible, because they do business with the Camino.

    Few questions - advice

    A knife can be useful (for chorizo, fruits, ham…). A spork if you intend to buy prepared salads. Plate is useless. Yes. No. Prefer cash. However, you will find ATM in the main towns (not so much on Primitivo…).

    Do I need separate pilgrim passports for my Caminos?

    Who can know something you don’t ? It seems impossible. Namely, your own definition of the word « advice » remains mysterious for me…

    Do I need separate pilgrim passports for my Caminos?

    I advice you to take a specific credencial (« Salvadorana ») in León. Then in Oviedo another one for Primitivo. Then in Santiago the last one (specific) for Muxia-Fisterra.

    Showers

    At 10pm I would take a shower with Morphee.

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    It is not only a matter of hardware weight. The pilgrim who told me that was a young Swiss pilgrim without so much money: he was camping under its tent, which involves an heavy backpack, especially because he was obliged to carry food too. At the opposite, I was flying from albergue to albergue...

    Definition of a Pilgrim 🤣

    There are 2 kinds of pilgrims: - Those who carry an heavy backpack - Those who hold a thick wallet
