Now i understand why I got it wrong, i first checked the color when looking for info to get back to Belgium, and didn't recheck the colors in France, just their rules.
Thanks for the explanations.
From what i found yesterday, i thought Galicia was in orange but it seems i was mistaken. I'll need to recheck when i'm closer to my departure date i suppose. This is really stressfull.
I looked at all the websites and only one states clearly when you can get a rapid antigenic test, and it's too late in the day for my plane.
I wonder if there is a place to do it without an appointment?
Hello,
I'll be arriving soon in Santiago so i've started to look at how i'll be getting back home to Belgium. I'll probably take a plane. I might be transitting through Paris and thus might need a Covid test (either PCR or RA). I'm fully vaccinated.
Any idea if it's easy to get a rapid test in...
I'm on the Norte (right now in Santander). I make reservations a day in advance. Lots of albergues are still closed. There are enough to get by with a bit of planning. Sharing an Airbnb is an option in the stretches that lack cheap accommodation. I know pilgrims who don't want to make...

1/ I didn't take the Chartres route but the Orléans one. Orléans was lovely. I also spent a day in Poitiers.
2/ a mix of tarmac and footpath. The Lepère guide takes a few shortcuts with a bit more tarmac than the GR 655.
3/ haltes jacquaires are either maintained by the municipality/local...
I used the Lepère guide. I stayed mostly in "haltes jacquaires" (about 2/3 were open), a few nights in my tent (in a camping or i just asked people if I could put it up in their garden) and a few nights in "accueil pèlerins" (1/2 pension in people's home).
I didn't have any trouble navigating as...
Hi all,
I've been on the Camino since the 7th of may.
I started in Tours on the via Turonensis and arrived in Saint Jean Pied de Port on the 5th of june. I took then the GR 10 to Hendaye.
Tomorrow I hope to cross to Irun on the Camino del Norte, and then to continue to Santiago via the Camino...
Hi all,
I've been on the Camino for a month and tomorrow i plan on crossing the border in Hendaye/Irun. Before they confirmed vaccinated people would be able to cross without a PCR test, i had made an appointement for a test on friday, with results saturday morning.
As i'm vaccinated, i would...
