    COVID Covid update for NON EU Folks.

    Here too. I just took the third booster today; that’s five vax shots, and frankly, I’m beginning to worry more about the vax than the disease.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Are albergues asking for the vaccine passport/vaccination card?

    Not once in March Burgos to Rabanal. After they scanned the QR code incoming at the airport, never needed it again.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    Terminal T4 has a clinic. Also, concierge test where they come to your hotel is 75E, not bad for the time saving and possible taxi cost to go to a clinic.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Updated US Embassy COVID Travel to Spain News

    Humor and flexibility once again saved day. Decompressing in a Madrid hotel getting ready to fly out tomorrow, I decided to spring for the concierge antigen test at the hotel. No problem, negative, so the tester left and said I’d get the QR code and attestation by email. Mid-afternoon, no email...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid testing for Spain April 2022

    All the major US airline CEOs have written the President to drop the pre-arrival test for the vaccinated, as many countries have. Not a political statement, but…🙏🙏🙏.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Albergues requiring the Vaccination Card?

    Going March 12-28. Burgos to Ponferrada.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Albergues requiring the Vaccination Card?

    Agree, sounds manageable, especially since my primary amusement at night is sleep and most of my route is through CyL. Thanks for the insight,

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Albergues requiring the Vaccination Card?

    My question is whether I can function reasonably on the CF for three weeks with just a CDC vax card and printed and cell phone negative entry test? Assuming most towns will have multiple restaurants and accommodations, I just need access to one without a lengthy search party. Thoughts?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD New Individual-based Travel Restrictions in Schengen from Feb 1 2022

    Well, this is all quite interesting, but I’m still booked ATL-MAD on March 11 and hoping for a negotiable process. Much can change by then.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD News from the USA Embassy in Madrid regarding June 7 (for USA citizens)

    Sorry to hear it, but all the airlines are doing this. Their demand for seats is increasing faster than they can pull planes out of the desert and get them ready to fly (and maybe labor shortages too). Most of my flights since January (about two a month) have had some involuntary change at some...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD News from the USA Embassy in Madrid regarding June 7 (for USA citizens)

    I meant pre-arrival on return to the U.S. Many opening countries (E.g. Spain) are not requiring this now,

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD News from the USA Embassy in Madrid regarding June 7 (for USA citizens)

    Slightly off topic, except the topic is about bureaucracy and related hassles, but why are Americans who were fully vaccinated before leaving the U.S. still required to have a negative COVID test pre/arrival?

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Is there a conversation in Spain about a tourism reset

    Many countries have fees and charges (dockage fees, entry/exit fees, tourism taxes, Econ development taxes, etc.) for just these costs, not to mention sales taxes, VAT, petrol taxes, tourism licenses,etc. How it is used is the real issue, most jurisdictions accumulate it in and spend it from a...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Is there a conversation in Spain about a tourism reset

    Upscale, low mass, low carbon tourism requires high cost infrastructure, staff retraining, and will probably benefit a smaller portion of the host country/society. So the economic benefit is questionable and the cultural risk significant. And then the “masses” will want to experience it, so it...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Got my first Covid-19 shot!

    Got the first shot last week and among the good news, it is easier and less painful than a flu shot and no arm pain at all afterwards.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Any North Americans flying to Spain?

    The British Virgin Islands are opening to foreigners on December 1 (but it is virtually impossible to socially distance on the St. Thomas ferry or at the Roadtown port of entry.)

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Do you still feel like walking?

    This too shall pass, but it’s the uncertainty that is so torturous. Thank you Ivar for the Camino Virtuale to keep us (sort of) sane.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD A return to a more basic camino?

    So many Caminos, so little time. I think the many Caminos of various levels of distance, difficulty, infrastructure and crowds is one reason it’s such a durable pilgrimage. Can’t wait to hit the trail again.
