The Embassy is very unlikely to be helpful as this is not their role. Many times a card reader or ATM is not working. Hopefully by simply alerting the bank that you had a difficulty and trying again with a different location, he will find it working again. Western Union is the parents best...
My wife and I are headed up there this Tuesday to start walking. We will be finding our way from Madrid. So any tips are welcome. Hoping to go the whole way through to Santiago. Saludos!
We will be walking the Arogones /Frances starting early October. May follow the Camino Invierno for the final stretch. I like solitude, but The VPlata seemed a little too lonely. We decided against it in favor of the other.
Have enjoyed reading on here for some time so decided to join the conversation. I will be walking with my wife starting the 2nd of October until we are through...Looking forward to it and expecting to start in Somport. Ponchos seem to be a key item when walking for more than a month...
