    Sleeping bag in February-March?

    Yes yes yes! I live in Southern Spain and while you might (might not, it rained all day here yesterday) have nice sun and wonderful temperatures during the day, at night the temperature drops a lot and it’s quite cold. It’s the damp, humid cold. As you walk away from Almería into the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD What happens if you test positive in Spain?

    I was checking in the municipal albergue in Ponferrada when 2 Italian boys had elevated temperatures. They had them rest a few minutes and took the temps again—still too high. They tested them both—positive. And off they went to an official quarantine center in Valladolid for 10 days. Spain...

    Blisters, Red toe, toenail loss

    Rookie Mistake: WARNING: Photos of Ugly Toes Ahead Brought my Solomon trail runners that I’ve been walking in for the last year. Easily walk 10Km+ and never have a single issue with my toes or feet. They are not a 1/2 size bigger than normal. I started with these and thin Injinji socks with...

    It is all opening up now: It looks like it is coming back to normal

    I agree the EU is on the way to herd immunity. But the % of those vaccinated in the USA is truly troubling. They won’t get to herd immunity with those number and the increíble amount of non-vaxxers.

    Coldest Stages on Camino Frances for late June/July

    What are the coldest (overnight temps) stages on the Camino Frances for Late June/All of July? I'm debating bringing a liner PLUS a light sleeping bag for the albergues OR if I know in advance the coldest stages, maybe those are the nights I'll spend a bit more and stay in a place that has blankets.

    Forward luggage with electronics/laptop?

    Yes! I just entertained this scenario this morning and have been pricing it out and figuring out the timing. Silly me, thought walking the Camino might be easier to start since I’m already in Spain. Hahaha.

    Forward luggage with electronics/laptop?

    I did think of that being an option but I also hate putting my laptop in checked baggage! I might take the train instead. urgh. I know. But I love an hour from Malaga and my apartment is rented out. It’s a logistical nightmare and a very expensive plan to backtrack.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD PCR test for crossing from Spain by bus or taxi to France for SJPP?

    From the news site: From June 9th these restrictions will be relaxed for travelers from outside the EU provided they have a “health pass” which is likely to involved a vaccine certificate AND/OR a negative PCR test.” So hopefully just the vaccine certificate BUT it could also be a PCR test to...

    Thank you for letting me know! I have no idea where to start because of the test. I’m not paying €200 for a test to cross the border...just can’t. So starting in Roncevalles might be the only way. Good luck to you and keep me posted!!!

    I have traveled quite a bit in the Basque Country, Asturias, and Cantabria already. I have even done small portions of the Norte with my kids! And I do think it’s incredibly beautiful. So beautiful maybe I wouldn’t want to do the Frances after! I will do the Norte as well. Maybe next year. It...
