    Which apps for family to track me

    There are no Camino apps that I know that will do what you are staying. Best to use the tracks native to Apple and Android phones, like Find my Phone and Google Maps if her family wants to know where she is in real time.

    Progress tracker for myself and family

    As I mentioned in the other thread, I use Find Penguins. I like how it creates a map of my Camino as I go. When you click on one of the places it takes you to the day's blog post. https://findpenguins.com/

    How to get to SJPP from Biarritz?

    This is s busy time of year, and I have no doubt that the shuttle will get filled up. As you know, everyone must have their own reservation in advance at least an hour before the shuttle arrives - they can't accept last minute people at the airport...

    Yes, it's your passport number that they need.

    Which apps for family to track me

    I, and several other forum members use Find Penguins to create blogs. It's very similar to Polar Steps. https://findpenguins.com/ I use Google Maps location sharing so that my family know where I am in case of emergency...

    Leaving a small bag at Madrid airport

    It might be cheaper to use a very inexpensive bag - maybe one from a charity shop and leave it behind at your first accommodation, then buy another cheap bag when you are ready to go home. I was going to suggest the IKEA Frakta bag with zipper, but it looks like they aren't available in the UK...

    RETURN TRIP

    I'd say that 99.9% of pilgrims don't walk back to where they started. But I believe that those who do are able to stay in albergues.

    Correos rucksack transport question

    I agree. It's quite simple - if it's not on Correos list choose another place that is.

    A new departure for me, Barcelona.

    Yes. I'm in Barcelona right now, and typical of most Spanish cities there are people out and about at night. You will probably will arrive at the Sants train station. You can take the metro from there to the Gothic Quarter.

    Is Uber used in Portugal and Spain?

    I used Uber quite a bit in Porto and Lisbon. The prices are very reasonable.

    Route planning- Help!

    I would do the first part, but would head to the Camino Francés after the concert, as I think that the Francés is better for a first timer than the Madrid. To make it easy on yourself I would probably start in León. You can easily arrive in Santiago in the time that you have available without...

    Santiago to Sarria - MonBus, BlaBlaCar or something else??

    Just don't overdo it the first day! Sarria to Santiago is very doable in 5 days, so I hope that you aren't planning to walk far the first day.

    Getting to SJPDP

    Ivar's service is great, and I have used it, but it's best when you are mailing from within Spain. In SJPdP I recommend using the service of Express Bourricot. They make it super easy, and there's no worries about cross border mail service. https://www.expressbourricot.com/luggage-transport/

    Santiago to Sarria - MonBus, BlaBlaCar or something else??

    Do you have to start the same day that you arrive in Santiago/Sarria? If you have time in your schedule I strongly urge you to slow down and spend the night in Sarria before you start.
