My husband and I are on our 7th Camino right now, the sparsely traveled Camino Mozarabe in SE Spain. Groups of volunteers run the different sections of the Camino and give you codes and things like that to get into the albergues since there are rarely Hospitaleros. The volunteers been helpful...
Hello!
My husband and I are walking from Almería starting mid-February, and were wondering if it’s necessary to pack a sleeping bag. We’ve done other Caminos but always in warmer months and on more highly traveled trails where almost every place has blankets.

Does anyone know if albergue Izar in Viana on the Frances is open? The phone number listed are either out of service or no one answers. I sort of assume that means they are closed but wanted to see if anyone knew.
thanks!
Hi everyone! 👋
My boyfriend and I will be arriving in Roncesvalles on 5 July and will start walking on 6 July. We would have started in SJPP of course but would need to get another COVID test to get into France and back into Spain since it hasn’t been 2 weeks since our 2nd vaccine dose.
