    Question about adding Alert Cops

    Try to type 001 instead of +1. Not sure if it makes any differece, but have experienced that 00 works better than + for my landkode (Norway) in some Spanish apps.

    Do I need Spanish skills for the Mozarabe?

    Some stages with a villige or two between stages, others with nothing. I used the Buen Camino app where you have a index of localities. It was a solitary route. I walked for 18 days only seeing 3 other pilgrims in total. But very nice albergues and some very scenic stages. I enjoyed it very much.

    Do I need Spanish skills for the Mozarabe?

    Finished Almeria to Cordoba last week. I managed with my limited Duolingo- spanish and Google translate. The first week from Almeria to Granada you will receive the code every day for the albergues from Nely who is the hospitalera in the Almeria Albergue. So it’s important to get in touch with...

    Extra Day in the Last 100km -- Where To Spend It

    Pontevedra is a nice city. Can imagine it would be nice to spend a day there walking around in the old town part of the city enjoying the Christmas decorations.

    No trekking poles in Porto

    What I did in April: Asked at the private Albergue where I stayed in Porto if they had any left poles, and they did. Apparently many pilgrims fly out of Porto post camino, and leave poles at the albergues. They had 5 pairs that I could choose from.

    Setting out late September - Accommodations in Labruge

    gronze.com is a good resource listing accomodation. Labruge has a municipal albergue with 50 beds. I stayed there in February (with only one other pilgrim!)

    Changing from costal route to central route at Vila do Conde

    Did that 2 weeks ago. I used the Wise pilgrim app. There are yellow arrows, but it is anyway good to have an app.. I did not pay enough attention, so got lost and added about 3 km to my walk that day. Many small roads and opportunities to get lost.

    Can walking poles be sent as free baggage at Santiago airport in 2023?

    I can confirm that you can put them in cargo for free. Did that today on a flight with Ryanair.

    Alert Via de la Plata, Mérida - Aljucén

    11.February this year I was alone at exactly the same spot when a white car drove off the asphalt road and stopped in front of me where the path starts. A man came out of the car, and as I found this a little strange, I picked up my phone and pretended I spoke to someone. I speeded up my walking...
