    How to get from Lisbon airport to Porto?

    You can always use Google Translate (GT) in your communications. It's not perfect but it hasn't failed me. The first time I used it I was traveling solo trying to buy a bus ticket. I typed what I wanted into GT on my phone and had it translated it into the language I wanted. Then I showed my...

    Leaving Leon - take a taxi to the outskirts????

    Since I had walked into Leon through the large commercial area, I felt no need to repeat the long urban walk as I left. As someone said, there is a bus from the main commercial square to La Virgin del Camino. It shaved 7 km off my walk that day which ended up being a very reasonable 25 km walk...

    20 hours in Paris

    Book a hotel near the airport , one with a free shuttle, to facilitate getting to the airport in the morning. Arrive, drop your bag off, then go into town. Pick one or two favorites depending upon what you like. I would skip the Louve - wonderful museum but it would mean spending most of your...

    Renting a car and driving in Spain and Portugal

    Great information. We rented a car in Portugal from Sixt. They were easy to work with, great customer service. Here in the US, in most places, we are only now putting in roundabouts. They were everywhere in Portugal. Got used to them quickly and had no problems except for the wicked...

    Need Help with Iberia

    Agree, I will likely write this off. Can't believe these people are in business.

    Need Help with Iberia

    Thanks. I may use this route. I did try one more time (well, several but talked to a person once) after I posted. Again, was on hold for a long time while she "talked to the back office". Once again, they are supposed to send me an email in 7 days. Am not holding my breath. I asked for the...

    Need Help with Iberia

    I did that initially when they wouldn't give me a refund but the credit card company wouldn't do a refund since I received a voucher.

    Need Help with Iberia

    I have reached the end of my patience with Iberia Airlines. When COVID forced me to cancel my Camino I wanted a refund for four flights. They would not give me refunds but gave me four vouchers. Over the past two years I have received emails from them about how they extended the voucher so I...

    My Situation on booking the flight

    It is, sadly, useful to keep in mind when buying insurance that the primary goal of insurance companies is to make money so there is a indeed a tendency to refuse benefits or make it very difficult to approve claims. Others have advised taking a magnifying glass to the fine print on policies -...

    Get Covid testing in SdC if you are connecting back to USA the same day.

    Does each terminal have a testing site?

    Cancelation Insurance due to Coronavirus

    Check with your insurance company and get it in writing. That said, there is a general trip cancellation benefit and a "Cancel for Any Reason" benefit. You will pay significantly more for the "Cancel for Any Reason" (this is true at any time, the additional cost has nothing to do with the...

    Bus forward out of Leon

    At the end of April I am picking up my Camino where I left off last year: Leon. Would like to bus forward a ways to skip the urban walk. What bus, where to catch it (am staying near the cathedral), and how far to get me out of town (Virgin del Camino)?
