    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Entering Spain on Napoleon Route...questions unanswered

    looks like France has closed its borders to Spain, not sure if this applies to people on foot.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino update - March 1st 2021 What's the situation regarding travel?

    first of all, yes, you can get fined. you probably won't, that's true. spaniards are pretty nice, even the police and guardia civil; but, if something is illegal, just because you are not sure it's illegal, is not an excuse. but much more problematic is the issue of common courtesy. around...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino update - March 1st 2021 What's the situation regarding travel?

    Too bad. Living here, I was definitely under a different impression, and that at the moment no travel of any kind (except for work, medical, etc... was allowed between Autonomous Communities). Indeed, only 3 pilgrims requested their Compostelas in February, two starting in Portugal and one in...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino update - March 1st 2021 What's the situation regarding travel?

    can i ask what your source is? i'm pretty sure there are currently no exceptions when crossing autonomous community borders, but i could be wrong. there were some exceptions in the past as city, province and autonomous community lockdowns caught a lot of pilgrims on the Camino; but at the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino update - March 1st 2021 What's the situation regarding travel?

    no, the vaccination does not allow you to breach regional perimeter lockdowns. that might happen by summer. apparently we can still spread the virus after getting vaccinated and not getting sick. however, i would rather not engage in another covid debate; the point of the original post was to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Camino update - March 1st 2021 What's the situation regarding travel?

    Below is a map of Spain divided into its autonomous regions*. * All the regions in the TWO DARK blues have a perimeter LOCKDOWN. This means you CANNOT ENTER or LEAVE the region unless you have a valid reason, such as work or medical issues. The darkest blue also indicates that within the region...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santiago closes down today (Fri Oct 30) from 15.00

    you're right, in the decree there's nothing about it ending tuesday, however, the conselleiro de sanidade specifically said today at the press briefing that the lockdown would be revised by tuesday. in any case, as things are developing here in spain, i definitely would not count on it being...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Santiago closes down today (Fri Oct 30) from 15.00

    it's a perimeter lockdown of the city until Tuesday. Started at 3pm today Friday and ends Tuesday, not sure at what time. HOWEVER, it may be extended on Tuesday if there isn't a significant improvement in covid cases. note that all the major cities in Galicia have been confined in the same...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD On the Camino, now what?

    hola, i live in Madrid too (what a mess...). transit meant: at least when Burgos and León were shut down, as entering, crossing and leaving a confined area, but not stopping, visiting, sightseeing or sleeping. the Autonomous Region of Castilla y León (CyL) will be confined tomorrow. none of the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Castilla y León lock down FYI if on the Camino

    true; unless you start in galicia, and that will probably change soon. things here change over night, and the restrictions, curfew times, start and end dates, closures, etc. are very different from one region to another. most spaniards i know, myself included, have simply given up with the idea...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD On the Camino, now what?

    if i am not mistaken, i believe CyL is referring to trains, buses and cars, as you can easily cross the region with the former and not stop. a pilgrim, on a bike or walking would have to stop and sleep, which would be hard to argue as 'transit'. lockdowns are lockdowns, and they are meant to...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Castilla y León lock down FYI if on the Camino

    As of 2pm Friday October 30th and until (at least) 2pm Monday November 9th, Castilla y León will lock down. That means no entering or leaving the Autonomous Community.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD On the Camino, now what?

    You will not be allowed to enter Galicia as of 2pm Friday October 30th until November 9th. Castilla y León is confining, no entering or leaving. This is news from an hour ago and is official.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Lockdowns

    There are jurists that argue that the latter would be unconstitutional, and therefore any attempted reform pointless. They argue that the Autonomous Communities can 1) already use the current General Public Health Legislation (indeed, many have these last months successfully - Galicia, Cataluña...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Lockdowns

    just a small clarification the government does not need parliamentary approval for the first 15 days of the state of alarm, which began last sunday. so at the moment, the state of alarm and everything that goes with it is effective until november 8th-ish. (after this first 15-day period, the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spain Announces State of Alarm until May 2021

    The Autonomous Regions of Navarra and La Rioja are officially confined, you cannot enter or leave. Aragon too (today or tomorrow). Castilla y León is also considering confining the whole Autonomous Region but no decision taken yet. I would say walking the French Way from France is fairly affected.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Lockdowns

    i believe it's safe to say that the 2020 Camino season has ended, other cities and regions will follow suit soon (and we really should not be walking through covid-infested regions). fingers-crossed for happier times next year. Buen Camino.
