    Molinaseca to Manchester, UK

    I cannot find even a bus from Molinaseca. Thus, you must choose: - either walk a day more until Ponferrada - or take a taxi until Ponferrada There, you can reach Manchester: https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Ponferrada/Manchester#trips

    Difficulty/ dangerousness/ albergues on the Primitivo?

    Primitivo is not dangerous, just check the weather before choosing Hospitales or not. You can size your steps here: https://godesalco.com/plan/primitivo

    Corkscrew do I take one with me?

    As a french man (ie a wine expert), I would say it mainly depends on your breakfast menu. If you drink coffee at breakfast, 13:00 is a perfectly acceptable time indeed. Otherwise, it seems a bit too late to begin your day.

    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...

    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    Thinking that there are authorities responsible of all the accommodations on the Camino would mean recognising their right to say to any of us: "Stop ! You cannot start now, because the Camino is overcrowded". My opinion is that each of us is responsible of himself: the Camino is not mandatory...

    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...

    Wise Debit Card on the Camino

    I am happy with my Wise card, but as @rainswift says it is more efficient to fill your Wise account through transfer from your main account to your Wise account (rather than with a card payment). Another advice is that is more efficient to do a single big transfer than several small ones. But a...

    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.

    Irun Camino start

    The point next to your hotel is Zabaltza plaza: you should find yellow arrows there. If you are not in a hurry, I can show you the way: I should be there around August, 12th... ;-)

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    Please, notice that this way along the cliffs is nice but also quite dangerous. My advice is to not be alone on it. I walked it between Lires and Fisterra last summer, and I was happy to be with a fellow pilgrim.

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

    Credentials

    I am sure you can get one in all non-profit albergues, in cathedrals, and possibly in tourism offices. On Gronze, the mention "Expiden la Credencial" means that you can get a credential there. For instance in Abbaye Ste Foy at Conques.

    Pilgrim.es

    I do not really understand what a travel agency provides regarding the Camino... Sizing the steps is not a big deal, nor booking accommodations (except if you are a large group...). What do you except from a tour operator ?
