    Family want to track my route

    I think there are two objectives here that will depend on what you will use: 1. Do you want to track your walk for personal records (data does not need to be 'live') 2. Do you want family etc. to know where you are - for safety reasons ('live while walking) My mom and I will be doing different...

    Family want to track my route

    It seems that all these options will use phone data? I understand using WhatsApp will use mobile data, but I thought the GPS works differently on your phone - meaning it doesn't need data? You can still access your maps etc whenever you have data or not?

    Thank you for your feedback. I am doing some research and was wondering; are there Albergues on this route or will we be forced to look for alternative accommodation?

    Shops Closed on Sunday in Santiago?

    Hi Dorpie, Thanks for the reply. I was thinking the Pilgrim's office...and that nice jewelry shop across the pilgrim's office (I'm not sure if the pilgrim office is still there) - but it had the most beautiful shell jewelry.

    Place to leave a stone (like Cruz de Ferro) on Portuguese Camino?

    Hi there, I liked walking with a stone and placing it at Cruz de Ferro when we did our Camino Frances. Is there a similar place for this on the Portuguese Camino? I guess I can place it anywhere, but just wanted to know if there might be a place of significance for this ritual.. Thank you!
