    Legal Changes Coming for Spanish Accommodations

    Thanks, I just signed it and sent a link to a whole lot of friends to ask them to sign it. It's important, at the moment I'm living in Spain and I know just much the bureaucracy here can stifle many important and good things from happening, just because of the sheer enormous amount of effort...

    Portable Wifi / internet / dongle from Spain?

    Oh thanks very much, another good idea, I'd never heard of that one. I'm reading about it now (I actually find the bold text much easier to read!)

    Portable Wifi / internet / dongle from Spain?

    Hello, I need to get some reliable internet so I can speak to family at home regularly and bits of work. Is it possible to get portable wifi in Spain? Where from? What's it called? In England they call it a dongle (I think). Something that I can connect my phone to easily. Many thanks for an...

    Has any pilgrim decided to move to Spain?

    I moved to Spain in September, it was a massive decision, not easy but it's been wonderful so far. I was inspired to live in the Spain because of the Camino, but I chose to live near one of the lesser known caminos. Living in Spain with the Spanish is more important than living near pilgrims.

    Volunteering opportunities over the next few weeks / months?

    Hello, can anyone please point me in the direction of any people / organisations / albergues / associations which might need some volunteer help? I'm hoping to get to Spain over the next few weeks and do some walking, but also want to spend time somewhere that I can practise Spanish as much as...

    A short (7-10 day) Camino over Christmas - which route/section?

    Hi Jozero, Covid makes things very different, however at normal times on the routes I mentioned I couldn't see many problems. It may be advisable to double check albergue opening in advance, especially for Christmas eve / day and public holidays, but I wouldn't think shops and bars would close...

    A short (7-10 day) Camino over Christmas - which route/section?

    I did Pamplona to Santo Domingo in winter and it was lovely. But, the Via de la Plata, or Mozarabic from Malaga or Almeria would be my first choices as the weather in the south is so pleasant, and they're beautiful caminos. If you chose to walk from Almeria, the association there is incredibly...

    Four Categories of Pilgrims

    Hi Terry, I like what you wrote. I agree about the general categories from my experience on the Camino. What you said was thoughtful, respectful and insightful. I'm sorry that some (it's only a few) other members aren't able to express differing opinions in respectful ways. Maybe you could...

    News Related to the Future of Credencials

    Brusque - I agree, and not even a thanks to all the people who offered suggestions after. It's a forum about a country which speaks a different language, and it's not difficult to use an online translator.

    Poll Do you prefer tags or the search function?

    I have similar difficulties scrolling through every section and thread and post to find an answer. I often just end up starting a new thread with my question. When I try to use the "search", it doesn't seem very comprehensive. Searching for information is really what I use this site for most...

    Navigating my way around the forum, and questions

    Thanks, I've only walked out of Bilbao on one route, the east side of the river. I actually didn't mind it because there some interesting river buildings and old docks to look at, it was fun walking along that wall by the side of the road too, and I loved crossing the moving bridge into...

    Navigating my way around the forum, and questions

    I'm wondering if neither is completely accurate though? Gronze says the Albergue de Peregrinos is closed, but not the Claret Enea. I wrote to them this evening, and they emailed back to say they're closed.

    Navigating my way around the forum, and questions

    Thanks Arthur, I usually use Gronze a lot, but I didn't know it was being updated at present. I'll have another look, I had thought Wise Pilgrim was the go-to-guide at the moment. Better quickly book somewhere in Bilbao!

    Thanks Faith, that's great to hear, it'll help me to make up my mind over the next three day! Really good to know.

    Navigating my way around the forum, and questions

    Hello, Can any one help me with where I can find the following on the forum please: Where can I find the list of albergues that are open on the Northern, French and Olvidado Caminos please? Some people seem to be saying that the municipal albergues are all closed. But when I looked up the Wise...

    Your Favourite Things About the Camino?

    Time to think, process, slow down, and make sense of my thoughts, emotions and life. The sense of autonomy, resilience, perseverance and accomplishment. Movement forward - each day's a new experience, an adventure. Every moment there is something different to look at and experience. It's a...

    What time of year do people do their planning?

    I'm always planning (thinking about it and reading) , but it usually is last moment when I can get a good price plane ticket. The rest of the planning is usually a couple of days before I leave, reading relevant threads in this blog, printing pages from Gronze, open albergue lists, and checking...
