    Alternative to Allianz travel insurance

    I have my medicare advantage plan with United Healthcare, so when I went to Spain I checked with them. They have a good and easy to use website and the price was reasonable. I had no claim but since they are my local insurer I felt safe.

    Madrid Airport

    Thanks to everyone for all the info. I am flexible. I have not yet bought a ticket to Astorga. I have a paid reservation in Astorga so a late arrival there is not the end of the world. There is a later bus and a train might even work, but it is confusing to understand the different train...

    Madrid Airport

    My Delta flight lands Sunday at 8:45. The bus to Astorga leaves T4 at 10:00. The last time I flew into Madrid we landed about 40 minutes early and it took less that 30 minutes to clear customs. Is there anyone that has been there in the last couple of weeks that could give me some idea about...

    Bus from Madrid Airport

    Does anyone know the geography of the airport and where to get a bus to estacion sur. I was told that there are frequent busses through the day. Any suggestions will be helpful. Also, how long to clear passport control?

    Bus from Madrid to Ponferrada

    My plan is to catch a taxi to El Acebo and walk downhill to Ponferrada the day before I start my service. I missed that stage in 2017 because of a swollen ankle and it has bothered me since.

    Bus from Madrid to Ponferrada

    I have volunteered to work in the Albergue in Ponferrada the first half of June. I will fly from Atlanta to Madrid and hopefully catch a bus to Ponferrada. I have tried for about 2 hours to find a bus or train and keep hitting a wall. Not sure what is wrong but I am about to give up and wait...

    From Kentucky to Camino Frances

    Iberia has or had direct flights but they are at different times on different days of the week and they do not have flights every day. I got lucky and had a flight that left a 1:00PM. I think it was a Tuesday. You can email the taxi service in SJPdP in advance and they will get you a shared...

    From USA to St Jean Pied de Port

    Well, since I'm not going back for a few months and will fly to Madrid anyway, I'll wait and see what is available later..

    From USA to St Jean Pied de Port

    Also, when I last checked, a plane from Paris to Biarritz was quicker and cheaper than the high speed train. Thanks for your input.

    From USA to St Jean Pied de Port

    I have a friend that was preparing to walk the Camino Frances. She asked me several questions and then asked how to get from Atlanta to the starting place (which, for her was St Jean Pied de Port). I sent her an email with suggestions for the first couple of days. I am posting it here in the...
