    Camino de Sagunto accomodation

    Information about the Albergue in Cervera de la Cañada on the link below. The site is not secure. https://servicios-calatayud-aranda.es/servicio/albergue-de-cervera-de-la-canada

    Hiking poles on the plane in Santiago!

    This is true in some airports but not in all. It depends on the layout of the airport. I have taken internal flights in Greece and then had to go through security again for my connecting flight.

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    Despite the fact that booking.com charges accommodation providers a fee, as a customer it is often cheaper to book through them. I do like to go direct, but if it costs me €20 a night to do so, I won't.

    Contact solution

    I expect you will be able to get it in any pharmacy.

    Prices on Gronze for rooms

    I find that, if the accommodation uses fixed prices on their own site, at quiet times it is almost always cheaper to use an aggregator. Likewise, at busy times you (usually) get a cheaper deal going direct. Sites like Booking.com use dynamic pricing which responds to demand.

    Help with accommodation on Camino Francés

    Definitely book Roncevalles. You'll be lucky to get a bed at Orisson, but it's worth a look. There is also Borda, or consider taking the Valcarlos route and breaking the journey there.

    Which apps for family to track me

    To be honest, I don't mind getting lost. I think it's all part of the journey. Usually I carry a paper map that allows me to find my way back to where I should be eventually.

    Which apps for family to track me

    I don't think I would would want my family at home worrying that I might be lost because I stray from the designated path. That sort of tracking sounds incredibly stressful for all concerned.

    Help! Can't find a bed in Santiago, May 17 and 18, 2024

    Not sure about Spain, but in many countries regulation is driving a return to the old-fashioned way. Here in Greece you can't put a property on AirBnB without a registration number and there is a lot of bureaucracy to get the proper registration.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    All depends where you draw the line, I suppose.

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    The schoolchildren I was teaching in Spain certainly picked up American English from somewhere. Possibly netflix or similar, but there were also a lot of children from Spanish-speaking parts of the Americas.

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    I prefer it in my coffee!

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    Here in Greece, you can drink what you want. Nobody cares. Beer, wine, water, coke. Anything else you fancy.

    Hire car caution

    I also have good experiences of hiring cars in Spain, Portugal and Greece. I think the danger is if you don't have personal contact on the return of the car, so mistakes can be made and you don't get the chance to query them. When I did the one-way hire in the UK, I just left the car in the...
