    US International Phone plan or Spanish SIM card while on the Camino?

    I always buy a Spanish SIM and prepay service from Vodafone Spain and usually I manage to get a data boost by topping up online so that I have either 70Gb or 100+ GB. In the past I have had a dual SIM phone but I use both SIMs at home and so I still need to swap SIM cards. This year I have a...

    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    No.

    Small juicer, vegetarians and heating element?

    Yes, I use Duolingo to learn Spanish but that seems to be aimed at Latin American Spanish. Duolingo uses jugo for juice. When I asked for jugo de naranja in Spain I was corrected and told that zumo is the correct word.

    Virtual walk on the Camino de Madrid - Detailed planning

    Did you visit the Rugby bar? https://maps.app.goo.gl/HAEusiPCt7CjJixu7 Lots of Kiwiana 😊🥝 The main office of Rugby Spain is above the bar and Valladolid is the home of Rugby in Spain.

    Is AllTrails useful on the Norte?

    I think that it is worth remembering that the difficultly level shown on an Alltrails route is an opinion expressed by one or more people rather than by Alltrails itself (a bit like opinions on this forum). As a result the level of difficulty that is described is relative to that person's...

    Bus to La Virgen Del Camino

    Depends where you are but I have always caught it on Gran Via San Marcos. ALSA M1 with Amora on the front. Google Maps is your friend 😊

    Making friends when starting the Camino later

    I think that @Robo is spot-on. Provided that you are open to others (and it looks like that you are) then I am sure that you will make friends. I echo what Robo said, last year I joined the Camino Frances after Sahagún and I made some lovely friends. Buen camino

    Camino de Madrid

    I was definitely thinking about For Whom The Bell Tolls as I walked the Madrid. I could imagine the bands of people in the hills. ♥️😍 I missed this comment, thanks for highlighting it. There are some interesting things said about Shakespeare including that he was a Sufi and that his plays...

    LIVE from the Camino The massacre of a dear resting place.

    I have no information on if it is connected to the memorial or not. There is still a lot of feelings on both sides relating to what happened during the civil war. I often post reviews on Google Maps and several civil war memorials in Spain have regularly been deleted and reinstated on a number...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    I was lucky enough to catch some special sunlight and sunset shots last Wednesday on my harbour walk.

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Rick beat me to the keyboard this time 😊😊

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    As in many other areas @peregrina2000 is correct. 😎 When I read further down in the Wikipedia entry I saw that she is correct and mobile phone numbers in Spain can start with either 6 or 7.

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    Yes, WhatsApp will only allow you to call someone who is already in your contacts (there are ways around this but again, for simplicity, just figure that someone that you call must already be in your list of contacts). I am not sure if you have an Apple iPhone or an Android phone. I have an...

    Am I the only one perplexed by WhatsApp?

    You haven't provided much information and that makes it very difficult to figure out what your problems might be. A WhatsApp call may go unanswered for many reasons including you calling at a time when the person receiving your call is asleep because they are in a different time zone. If you...

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Continuing my harbour walk with some bridge shots.

    WhatsApp, pay in advance?

    I use my Wise account for bank transfers.

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Yesterday I walked within the city. I started in The Domain. Then I headed down to the waterfront, an area that for me encapsulates the essence of Tamaki Makaurau Auckland. I took more photos including more sunset shots but I am only allowed to post 10 at a time and so the rest...

    want solitude

    It sounds like you will be starting your Camino with a lot of expectations. In my experience, this leads to a disappointing and boring Camino. My advice would be to worry less about your Cumbayá avoidance strategies and go with an open mind and open heart and see what happens. Of course, this...
