We’re in Mogro - also loving the coastal alternatives. The 33+ from Santander to Boo was a little intimidating so we stayed in a lovely hotel in Liencres last night, Hostal La Picota. Liencres is only approx 2 km from the coast and approx 11 km from Boo (no Albergue in Liencres). Wonderful...
Thanks I've lodged (another) request for the $9.99 with them (the bank is looking at the $301.50).It's in resolution with PayPal...apparently....but I hadn't tried phoning. Buen Camino App people said they've emailed Apple Support for me.....
Ah thanks no I hadn't changed the Password. will do so now. Yes I've delinked this and one other account . I'm a bit confused about how the transaction occurred. It came from the account but I think through the PayPal portal??
Not the fault of the people who run the Buen Camino App but I wanted to alert Pilgrims to a fraudulent PayPal transaction that occurred when I tried to purchase the "Northern Route" within the App. I clicked on "buy the route for $9.99" and was directed to PayPal. I logged in and received a...
Such clear and helpful advice from both Bajaracer and Robbo. Much appreciated. I think this means we'll wait till we're in Spain and reach San Sebastián ( we fly into Barcelona but only have the afternoon then train next morning to Irun).
Robo so sorry but I've fallen in an internet black hole, struggling with the Spanish Orange site (not sure I'm in the right website even??). Did you purchase directly from ORANGE Spain or thru another provider? Also need a SIM card for 90 days. Not sure if you can keep topping up a 30 day SIM?
Hi Robo - do you mean ordering online from Australia? If so, this sounds much easier than waiting for arrival (we haven't left much time before start of our walk so 1 less thing to do sounds a good idea). Many thanks for info!
Has anyone used a hiking umbrella on the Norte/Primitivo in Sept/Oct? Are there long stretches in the open? Likely to be too windy? The extra weight and need to (literally) keep a handle on it are off-putting but I suffered mightily last year on the Le Puy route during a heatwave.
Dear Peregrina
Many thanks from one of your Camino fans! It was because of your blog I had read about Pension Cortes. Your off-road Coastal alternatives are brilliant. We luddite 3 CAmigos are currently grappling with understanding managing offline maps etc, but do you think a GPS is really...
Useful information as that stretch seems tricky for those of us not wanting excessive distances. Wondering if you have any information about the Pension Cortes (in Castroverde?)? I can't find any contact details for it. Many thanks
