    Is tap water safe to drink in Portugal?

    All water is safe to drink due to the high cross european standards. Any water not to those standards will have a notice.

    The Shell Toucher hat

    All I’ve seen this advertised here on the site and wondered if anyone had used one and what’s the experience. I’m follically challenged Irish guy so fair complexion but I also get very hot with hats. This see airy but would like other opinions.

    New Camino Movie -The Way My Way - World Premiere

    I believe you can subscribe to its newsletter which I’ll assume will advise where it’s being released. https://thewaymywaymovie.com/film/

    The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino

    I’d also say if using an iPhone update the Medical Information section which is where most Emergency Departments would look. (Speaking as an ex-ED nurse )

    Don’t be Get a head lamp Aldi/Lidl sell them cheaply and means you’ve got light that you can direct without holding hit and blinding others on way to the facilities.

    The Art of Buying a New Backpack

    Totally found this helpful as planning for 2025 and not sure where to start. Decathlon is a major provider in France and wondered if anyone has used their products for walking, in particular, backpacks.

    Cyclists

    I'm planning for 2024 and looking at the EuroVelo 3 route. I suspect parts of it weave long the main CF route, but would be good to know how much does. I am planning to cycle with a friend (I imagine freinds cycling can add to the problem, but the bell is essential) We plan to cycle from Burgos...

    Flying Ryanair from SCQ to Madrid

    Taxi services Pamplona to SJPDP

    Border crossings are irrelevant in Europe. We have few movement of labour good and services. what you’ll be paying for is the cost of the taxi to go back to base. Maybe a bus? look at blahblah.com which is car sharing

    Cycling the camino

    @Flatlander Thank you for these questions. I wasn’t being obtuse, I’m new to the Camino and wasn’t sure which would be a good route. I live off the Route de Puy in France so my entry point to Spain is very open. I am also probably riding with another guy and I’ve done 70-90km routes before-on...
