I've got foot and timing issues. I'll need a car/driver from Leon [March 21] to Sarria [many reasons why bus, train, etc. won't work] I've looked at private car service and will pay the cost but it's expensive. Local Leon Hotel has no recommendations. Does anyone out there know of private...
Are there any “nice” hotels/suburban towns near Madrid airport that would allow for a walkabout, decent food, something to see/do? Must come from Santiago and overnight for late morning flight to US. I’m not opposed to staying in Madrid if there’s a section closer to airport.
I may be confused - as usual. Did I read somewhere that Spainards can ride trains for free? Do you think for March 19th. I'll need to book my train from Madrid to Leon ahead of time.... or will I be safe to wait until day of -- go to train station and do it then. Same question for train from...

I just received a battery pack for charging my iphone and the packing said forbidden for transport aboard passenger aircraft?! is this true? I can't believe this so many must travel with chargers?
Apologize -- I'm a nervous traveler, not too concerned with cost - need easiest to follow instructions. Please suggest most direct/easiest way to get from Paris to SJPDP on Sept. 20, 2022. Will leave my Paris Hotel morning of Sept. 20th to meet my walking buddy at a small hotel in SJPDP.
Over a month ago I received confirmation from the Orisson refuge that they received my request for a one night stay. No follow up for confirmation. I asked again last week for confirmation. No follow up. Any idea what's happening?
Am trying to reserve a space at the Refuge Orisson for Sept. 22 -- the site has been down for a day. Am I doing something wrong? Do most folks use the internet to reserve here? Any hints?
