    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Types of Masks to Wear on the Camino

    I’m not sure about the rest of Spain but everywhere we’ve been on the Portuguese it’s a requirement in public transport, taxis, shops, restaurants when not eating (we were politely reminded a couple of times when we first got here - we came from a place where no one wears masks), and crowds and...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Types of Masks to Wear on the Camino

    Not required or expected for hiking. Yesterday we were stopped by the local police on the trail — they were camino patrol and have a specially marked van saying this (we took a picture). We got a stamp from them, had a pleasant conversation (always order pulpo), and then they spent 3-5 minutes...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Types of Masks to Wear on the Camino

    We have not seen that sort of “mask” in the past 5 weeks walking the Camino. Mask compliance is very high here — probably greater than 99%. We haven’t seen any of the common end runs — bandanas, nose not covered, etc. The only exception is eating and drinking. Even then everyone seems very...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Types of Masks to Wear on the Camino

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD How to Obtain a COVID Pass in Spain as a Foreigner

    We have been told but haven’t confirmed that we could take our paperwork to a farmacia in Spain and that they could get us a QR code. But we’re not certain about this and haven’t bothered to explore it. It would interesting if anyone else has heard this.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD How to Obtain a COVID Pass in Spain as a Foreigner

    No - we have that. It doesn’t work anywhere and no one likes it.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD How to Obtain a COVID Pass in Spain as a Foreigner

    I have been walking the camino in Spain for the past (that includes 5 days of recovery from a twisted knee) and we have only been asked for vaccination status twice, once at a restaurant and once at a pension. In both cases they readily accepted our paper vaccination from the US. Today, we...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Traveled to Spain from USA (preferably West Coast) recently (late 2021)?

    We flew to Spain, Madrid, from the US in mid December. No Covid test was required then, I don't know if the rules have changed since then. The procedure was relatively painless -- we used the Spanish site for travel permits (the airline sent us the link) loaded up our vaccination cards and where...
