I would check out e-sim if you have a relatively new phone, buy, download, and install it before you leave home, and activate it when you get to Europe. Depending on the plan you buy they go seamlessly from country to country. We used an e-sim twice now and it is so much easier than finding a...
you might like the MapMyWalk app, I use the free version to track my walks, it provides a map of where I walked and all sorts of data that can be shared via text, or on social media. I also use my notepad on the phone, to keep track of my time and place and any thoughts, ie, time, stopped for...
thank-you for this, we will miss the Camino this year. one point most Canadians bank and credit cards have tap to pay, and I am finding many of the cafes, restaurants, and bars here in Calgary Canada have similar protocols in place.
Hi
We used Correos to transport our backpack on the Camino Francis in 2107, one of the places we asked our bag to be dropped off was closed, and the Correos dropped it at the municipal albergue. All it took was an email to Correos asking where they dropped it, and someone responded within 30...
I have lots of graffiti images, but none have that quote! Murals are becoming more popular everywhere, and I love the creative images dedicated to the pilgrims and the journey!

My husband and I have walked CF twice now, we speak very little Spanish, he books the accommodation on through Gonze and we had no trouble booking place, getting registered and finding a meal. I hope you enjoy the time with your son and the walk.
On our last camino we met someone who either took a taxi, or caught a ride with one of the luggage transport companies from town to town while his wife walked. Both seemed to be enjoying their camino. So it does seem possible, buen camino
"found ring" in Paris -someone shows you a ring, said you must have dropped it, no not mine you say, then they say they can't keep it, it is against their religion to keep something that isn't theirs, you keep it. if you say okay, then they want a reward! this was explained to me by a Parisian...
if you could hear him I am sure the staff could hear him as well, how many days had he been in there, if you were there two days and he was there both I am sure he had been there many times before, and the staff didn't altert the manager, they did nothing but allow it to happen, very...
I think it is important to get over the jet lag before you start your camino. How much time you need will depend on your age and conditioning, and how much time you take can depend on time available and budget. My husband and I have walked the Francis twice, the last time we took at least 2...
