    Poll Credencial nearly full with three days to go. Do you...

    As someone who recently volunteered in the Pilgrims Office, I have only one request—PLEASE write your name and where you would like to be located if you lose your credencial. (It’s also required!). I’ve seen it happen 😔 When you start your second credencial it’s also helpful to write the word...

    Do Spaniards srsly eat this much tuna?

    “Good for you” doesn’t mean everyone can stomach it. I also ask for sin atún and I’m a healthy, happy, 64 year old. Enjoy your travels while eating what keeps your own, very unique body, healthy and happy. Buen Camino.

    Revolut instant debit card for intl use

    Just a note to other pilgrims who want to use an ATM or purchase with a credit card (not related to the app mentioned) Never let the ATM do your exchange rate when you take out cash or charge something. Always say you want your bank to do the exchange. The machine will ask what you want to do...

    Mosquitos, ticks, snakes, etc.

    I’m so thankful for this post and all of your replies. The weather along the Francés has been so wet (and now hot!) that the trails I walked 4 years ago are terribly overgrown with every kind of vegetation. I’ve only gotten to Logroño and my knuckles have itchy bites on them. I do have a few...

    I absolutely agree. I've never tried the one to the left but I have had no interest in it.

    Torrential rains in the pyrenees?

    Yes, as I mentioned, this is my second Camino. I took the path to the right last time and intended to do it again regardless of weather. My query is just to see what the trail looks like in general right now. But thank you very much. I'm sure newer pilgrims will need that heads up for...

    Torrential rains in the pyrenees?

    I’ve been trying to keep an eye on the weather in SJPdP and Roncesvalles. Obviously, its tough to find accurate info from here in the States. Could anyone over there tell me if the rains in these areas are as terrible and constant as I seem to see on AccuWeather? Is the Napoleon still open...

    ATM FEES

    Darn it! It was free when I was last in Spain in 2014. Bummer. Guess I’ll be taking my max each time to minimize the hit on atm fees!

    Ladies...Yoga leggings or hiking pants?

    You missed one other option. I wore a Macabi hiking skirt. Makes it SO much easier to go to the bathroom outside! And the things are crazy easy to keep clean, almost seem waterproof, and the pockets are immense. ....then I wore my yoga pants underneath them to keep warm in the mornings. And the...
