    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid testing for Spain April 2022

    Just catching up on this thread as our departure to Spain (29 April) approaches. What do you veterans recommend as far as getting a Covid test before we return to the U.S.? CDC site says you can do a self-test if you do it with a telehealth expert online. Anyone tried this? Or is it just easier...

    Bus to Finisterre

    Thank you!

    Bus to Finisterre

    We will be walking into Santiago in early May and unfortunately do not have time to continue walking to Finisterre. So we plan to do a day trip. Reading past threads, I'm convinced that a bus trip (as opposed to booking a guided tour) is the way to go. But I didn't find any threads on this topic...

    For coffee addicts that like to walk early

    Ditto. I never compromise on the quality of the coffee. I'll walk all day before I drink instant with hot water from the tap!

    I have lost myself

    You may well be right about what God wants of you. The only advice I would add to all of the thoughtful posts you have received is just to be patient. God (as I call the Higher Power) plays a long game. It has frustrated me many times when I've wanted an answer, guidance, wisdom on my timetable...

    The Poem of the Cid

    Like others, I studied the Cid in undergraduate Spanish, just after the Ice Age at the University of Texas. I still have great memories of it -- it was the first assignment of my first collegiate Spanish class, and I had a superb professor. I also still have the textbook. I'm going to dig it out...

    New high speed train from Galicia to Madrid as of December 21st.

    How much faster is the service between Santiago and Madrid? Looks like 3hr51m is the fastest option. Does that knock off an hour or two? I have never traveled by train from Santiago to Madrid.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino in October, or postpone? Help us decide

    Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this thread. Your input really helped. A few of you asked me to post when we had made our decision. We are postponing our trip until the spring. This was a split decision -- one of us wanted to stick with our plans, the other wanted to wait. We...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino in October, or postpone? Help us decide

    I am going to look into boosters. My second shot was in April, so the recommended 8-month interval for me is not until December. But if I can get it early, I will.

    Travel company or do it myself?

    I'm going to be the minority opinion here, but we use a travel company and have had a good experience. This all started for us on our honeymoon in 2013. We decided to do three days of the Camino, then continue with our travels in Spain. It was not a Camino-focused vacation, and we had a lot of...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino in October, or postpone? Help us decide

    Our trip (delayed since 2019) is set for mid-October. We will be doing our eighth and final leg, from Lugo to Santiago/Finisterre. We are vaccinated and healthy, both over 60. We will mask and distance as much as possible, though our trip includes several days in Madrid, where these measures...
