I think you have had a fulfilling life and am so appreciative of it. Thank you for making my Camino the best experience of my life!!! Wishing you hugs and peace of mind.
It's as safe as it can be. I went with a friend to France last September to walk the Podiensis. No real problems. We did get the Covid pass QR code while we were there after applying online but only a very few lodgings checked it. I think it's a mixed bag but good to have proof of vaccination...
I agree entirely and tried to find out one had to wait before doing another rapid test but couldn't find an answer. If you begin your testing 72 hours out then you have all the up to your flight departure to do another test and if it were me I would not present the positive test results, just go...
It's confusing I know. The PCR and antigen tests only show whether the virus is active. Yes that means it can be positive but that's why I would get the RAPID test (yes less accurate but not as sensitive as the PCR) and if it's positive don't present it to the authorities.
Not true. PCR and...
I seem to have hit a hot topic. My advice simply has to with my motto, "better to be safe than sorry". I'm proactive not reactive. One never knows when the rules will change since the situation is getting worse not better. My advice is based on my upcoming trip to France. I have always...

It has been my experience that officials interpret the CDC rules differently. Example, Sunday past my good friend flying to France would not have been able to board her flight in Evansville IN if she didn't present a neg PCR or rapid antigen test. She argued that it was not required but none...
My guide goes in the side leg pocket of my hiking pants. My fanny pack as we call them in the USA is big enough for sunglasses, small money and credit card purse, chapstick, handkerchief, pen. I keep my phone in my zipped back pocket. After hiking I use it as a cross body bag so I chose orange.
I would say not optimum. Early spring is still cooler down south, the days get longer which means you don't have to start and end in the dark which happens in the fall. Going north you'll catch nicer weather as you get closer to Santiago. I too am looking at the beginning of March. Check...
