    Common Question: Days to walk SJPP to Santiago

    we did 33 days + two days rest over the period of the walk for SJPP to SDC

    Solo Female Camino Safety

    That is the most sensible advice I have seen here. A small knife like that is v cheap to buy.

    Was Your Camino Life-changing?

    I feel "life resetting" is a good description for myself as well. I find that I have approached things differently...... greater levels of understanding, generally when talking with others, being more open and also practising listening more deeply, and sensing feelings in a more meaningful way...

    Craziest thing you've seen someone bring on Camino

    Brilliant!! Why? I ask.

    Missing - French couple. FOUND

    Oh yes.

    GEO tracker, anyone ever use one?

    It works by Bluetooth, and you need a data plan, see other post. Great if you have that, your phone will bleep when a connection is lost.

    Bicyclists on the Camino - Please Give a Warning

    There was a court case in the UK in the early 1900's that will be well known to any lawyer. A person was knocked off their bike by a vehicle passing to close, because the cyclist "wobbled". The Judge ruled that a cyclist was entitled to wobble. It's only a short step for the same to be...

    GEO tracker, anyone ever use one?

    Good idea, but expensive roaming charges would have applied? But now, from 11Jun, across Europe, phone and data roaming does not carry additional charges. One of the (few?) very good decisions of the EU.

    Bicyclists on the Camino - Please Give a Warning

    There certainly needs to be greater thought given by cyclists. It would be unusual in any country for cyclists to travel fast on a footpath and expect any walkers to jump out of the way with no warning. This "profile" is exactly what happened to me on several occasions during May. How ever...

    Prepaid Travel Card

    Worth hunting around. We completed the Camino in May (StJPdP - Santiago) and used a pre paid card wherever possible. A card called Revolut was launched in the UK which uses interbank rate and no fees for purchases. You convert the currency on the app into the one you expect to use, and...

    LIVE from the Camino Rest day in Burgos, chill out time.

    Rest day, in Burgos, visited the awesome Cathedral, discounted entry if you present your Credencial. Some problems for accommodation in earlier towns, mainly due to public holidays, so if you are planning, avoid starting close to public holidays. Cash and ATMs easily available most towns...

    Using Cards or Cash?

    Local currency ( so in Spain > Euro's) is generally more advantageous.
  13. CaptNoglos

    Using Cards or Cash?

    Agreed, I might not have been clear. If you live in Spain, and have a Spanish issued card, you won't need to advise the Bank if you are staying in Spain.

    Using Cards or Cash?

    This is a very good idea from any country, except Spain.
  15. CaptNoglos

    Using Cards or Cash?

    You are unlikely to get it back anyway. Retained cards are not often simply handed back out. You may of course have had a different experience, but would be unlikely. The reason you might want to use an outside ATM is because the Bank is closed.

    Using Cards or Cash?

    That sort of amount sounds like it is an ideal guide. You just need enough until the next town. You never know, you might be able to pay along the way with a card from time to time.

    Using Cards or Cash?

    That is also a good point. All Banks now have that facility online ( for you to tell them which country you will be going to), and it helps enormously in resolving any potential fraud related red flags that get raised ( yes, they do call it Red Flags) as a result of (apparently) unexpected...

    Using Cards or Cash?

    Good Point, refresh the Euro stock in (relatively) small amounts, often. Interesting to learn that exchanging cash is also a major issue.
