Short answer is online form works if filled out properly. It also has a way for you to message your examiner. I had home address instead of destination address. Changed that online once we got to Paris and messaged the examiner that I had made a change and needed the pass immediately to get on...
I just finished reading this (a free review copy sent to Susan). It is really good. A guidebook with a huge amount of additional detail that you want to know. Beautiful, full color book with good layout and photos. Only problem is that it weighs 1 pound. I still think it is the one every novice...
Walking the Norte made us realize that Spain is a collection of quite a few culturally different regions, Basque country, Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia and more. We just watched a movie last night that emphasized these differences. A romantic comedy that gave us some insight into the sense of...
My first attempt had a music licensing problem. This one should be better. I tried to capture the feel of the walk in a 140 image video. Hope it works for you.
For those of you who are considering this route, this will give you a feel for what you will see while walking: Even if you have already walked it, this may bring back memories.
In May June we walked from Irun to Bilbao, and in Sept-Oct from Bilbao to Vilalba. I did a long blog post on the trip, and am summarizing here.

Syl recommended Spainsim.com for data plans for Spain, but I am looking for data sim plans for France or multiple European countries. Is there a similar service to Spainsim?
Thanks
We just got back from 17 days on the Arles route. Had to stop just short of Toulouse to get our plane home.
Summary - Starts flat, long days and not too interesting, but after Montpellier, some true mountain trails, great views, and quite a bit more rugged than the Le Puy route. Most days no...
We walked from Roncesvalles to Santiago in Sept-Oct 2001, now working our way south in sections from Le Puy. Le Puy to Figeac 2 yrs ago, Figeac to Aire-Sur... last fall, this year plan to do Aire to at least Roncesvalles, and then Leon to Ponferrada (had to bus that section in 2001 due to 9/11).
