    Camino shell in Dublin, Ireland?

    I saw this on a church near the Guinness brewery in Dublin. Does anyone know what Camino it's marking? (The white stuff is paint, by the way, not bird droppings!)

    A few thoughts about half way through

    1. The Spanish people are overall fantastic. Friendly, welcoming, warm, cheerful, supportive. They might think we're a little crazy for doing what we do but they are polite about it. :) 2. That alleged "hallowed respect" for peregrinos, though? Nah. Haven't seen it nor experienced it. Most...

    Problems buying a bus ticket online

    ALSA's web site doesn't like my credit or debit cards and of course BofA insists it's not their fault, so I'm not able to buy a bus ticket in advance for travel from Bilbao to Irun. Does anyone know if buses fill up for that route on weekdays, or will I be able to purchase a ticket at the window?

    Can you suggest some healthy shampoo brands?

    Suggestions for healthy shampoo brands available in Spain? I dehydrated some of my usual shampoos into a powder that I'll bring with me to use initially but the rest I'll have to buy along the way. I'm looking for something extremely gentle and non-drying. I'm also trying to avoid the usual...

    Sending a package general delivery to Spain

    I'm mailing ahead a small box general delivery to Irun. There are three post offices in Irun. Is there a "main" post office that holds general delivery packages or can I send the package to any of them?

    Sensodyne users...

    Is it available in Spain? Please tell me I don't have to carry two big heavy tubes of toothpaste with me when I begin my camino.

    If I buy a SIM card in Spain will it work in other countries?

    ... such as England, Ireland, France, Germany? Can I keep putting money on it in from those countries?

    List of the locations of laundromats?

    Is there a list anywhere of which towns along the CdN have laundromats, and where those laundromats are located? Thank you.

    Long term secure luggage storage in Bilbao?

    My trip is slowly evolving... it looks like I'll be flying into and out of Bilbao. I will need to store luggage there for 3+ months. Is there a safe place to do that?

    Recharging in places other than albergues?

    Many times when I've been hiking long distances in the U.S. I've used outlets in restaurants to recharge my phone. Can you do this along the camino?

    Will a Spanish SIM card work in an original iPhone?

    Or am I going to have to upgrade?

    Does anyone have experience buying from Amazon.es?

    I just discovered they sell the fuel my hiking stove uses. Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to buy it from Amazon.es and have it shipped to a hotel along the Camino, than to ship it from the U.S.? Amazon.es is still kind of new so I'm not sure how reliable/efficient they are and I've had shipping...

    Can you use an albergue but not stay the night?

    Can you pay/donate, take a shower, wash some clothes, get your credencial stamped then... instead of sleeping in the albergue, 1) put up a tent outside (when permitted) or 2) move on and wild camp? Are you obligated to sleep there to get the other services and get your credencial stamped?

    Wild camping etiquette on the CdN?

    1. To get permission from the property owner do you just walk up to a house, knock, introduce yourself and ask permission to tent there for the night? (I'm not fluent but my Spanish is sufficient for short conversations like this.) 2. Is it rude to knock on the door of a private home during the...

    Some questions about hiking with disabilities on the CdN

    1. I need to use a restroom at least once an hour. Will this be possible? I've done a lot of hiking in wilderness areas where you can go pretty much anywhere so I don't have a problem "going" outdoors, as long as there's someplace appropriate and private (and I never, never, never leave toilet...
