    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    Upon arriving in Spain, locate a Movistar shop and walk in. Ask for a prepaid SIM for your phone. They will fill out the necessary paperwork for you. It will cost about 26€. Of this amount 20€ will go toward your new account. I made an initial deposit of 100€ thereby making my total amount 126€...

    LIVE from the Camino Is finding accommodation on the Camino Frances, becoming too stressful?

    Quite a few if us were not able to find a bed in Larazoaña and btw, good thing for us! The hospitalera was unbelievably rude. There was a girl standing outside crying because the hospitalera would not help her find a place. Met an older gentleman outside that was unpacking his tent because he...

    Cell phones - SIM with data service?

    I bought a Movistar prepaid sim and it has been working quite well for the last 3 weeks! I suggest you use the free wifi at cafés, bars and albergues and conserve your prepaid service.

    LIVE from the Camino Is finding accommodation on the Camino Frances, becoming too stressful?

    Funny you should mention "the guidebook". The stages are all anyone seems to be discussing at the albergues. This seems to be a source of unnecessary stress for everyone who has studied it! :-/

    LIVE from the Camino Is finding accommodation on the Camino Frances, becoming too stressful?

    Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same thing in Pamplona. Not what I was hoping to get out of this experience. Last night someone lectured me about the importance of being on the road by 7:00am at the latest in order to secure a bed at the next destination. I am conflicted as to wether it is...

    I have solved the carrying water problem

    Thank you! I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Lifted my spirits after a very long day to Pamplona. Sending the LifeStraw and my very heavy Gerber multi-tool ahead to Ivar. As much as I would like to help the environment by completely phasing out plastic water bottles, I just can't! There are...

    I have solved the carrying water problem

    I've just spent the day walking from Roncesvalles. Had to wade through more cow, horse and sheep manure than I ever thought possible. It has been raining for days and many creeks are quite full. Even with a life straw, I waited until I reached the next bar to refill my water bottles!

    Shops in St Jean

    I bought a great pair w shock absorbers at the sporting goods store in town. Just downhill from where you will enter SJPDP. There are two shops that sell them right by the albergues, but I needed a smaller grip for my small hands and found a larger variety and better prices at the outdoor shop.

    Is This a Reasonable Packing List (Spreadsheet / Panicking)

    I am on my 3rd day of the Camino. While trekking over the Pyrenees, it was very cold. We still found snow on the ground in many areas. It rained for two days. Fog was very thick in some parts. No one wore gloves. You will not need pj's, ear band, water bladder, can opener, or a nice shirt. Most...

    LIVE from the Camino Last minute advice for a first timer!

    Staying at Corazon Puro tonight. Lovely experience so far. It has been smooth and Istvan and Barbara are wonderful! There has been a lot of rain and we are expecting more in the next few days. If you don't have a backpack cover then a large poncho that covers you and it will work. Some of us...

    Anyone from Puerto Rico? Hello?

    I lived in Rio Piedras for a few years. Still go back to visit friends every couple of years. Heading out of SJPDP on 4/27. Perhaps we will meet along the way. Buen Camino!
