    Best options for paying and getting cash in Spain as a US citizen

    You can also open a brokerage account to get the ATM card if that suits you. THat is what I have since my account moved from TD to Schwab this year.

    Best options for paying and getting cash in Spain as a US citizen

    As indicated above, it is the Debit card from Schwab for ATM fees that get re-embursed. For purchases you might consider a no fee credit card. Bank of America has a blue card with No annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. You don't want to use the credit card at the ATM, just the debit...

    Efrén González QR code

    I don't know who Efren is and have no comment on him. But if you feel there is nothing wrong with putting stickers where you wish, then you should have no problem with people removing them, or placing another sticker over it. If it is useful or provides a benefit is not important. I don't...

    Specific items?

    Lidl has there own brand they sell in the states, I expect in Europe too. Lots of locations. But hopefully they offer a smaller size in Spain.

    Just wondering, did anyone ever walk for a deceased pet/animal?

    Just a question to better understand. Is it a requirement that the office write the “in vicare pro” and the name, or can you do it yourself? This was a bit of confusion I have after another thread where it sounded like people where adding it themselves, and asking about how you indicate this...

    Men's grooming

    I'm really glad this question about haircuts was asked. I was considering to ask myself. Since Covid I have cut my own hair and not been to a barber since. I can go about 2 weeks and my hair starts to bug me. I'm really glad to hear its not an issue to find a barber. Thanks for asking this PAK.

    How many pilgrims do not ask for a Compostela after their Camino?

    I wonder if being a holy year skews the numbers a bit too. More people doing it to get the certificate than in years not designated as holy years. So for holy years the percentages not requesting the Compostela is lower ?!?

    Need help with MAPS.ME please

    Does anyone know if any of the apps mentioned will let you record your route as well as see the route to follow? I expect it to be on top of the route most of the time, but wanted to actually record my stops and key points if possible. (I know there is always paper and pencil too.)

    Vicarie pro

    Don't know if this helps https://floresdeloscaminosasantiago.eu/vicarie-pro-to-santiago-for-another-person/ I glad you asked the question, because I had not heard of it and like the concept. Thank you.

    Missed opportunities

    I have not been yet, but know I can not even see all the fantastic places and things on the route, because a lot of things happen at different times of year. If I go in fall I won't see all the spring flowers. If I go in spring, I'll miss some of the festivals. It is just more reason to go...
