    How much data do I need on an eSIM for the entire Camino Frances

    I'd roughly figure on using maybe a gb per day, just to be safe. It is easy to add more online if needed, as long as you do add before you use it all up! I used a regional Nomad esim because they seemed to have the best deal at the time. Never had any issues. You can use my Referral Code if you...

    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    What about buying a cheap unlocked phone to put your sim card in? I love it when amerikans discover how screwed their telecommunications are 🤭

    sweat/jogging pants, and electric toothbrushes

    Seriously sad expectations.

    e-SIM phone number

    But they do charge an "arm and a leg" ... service by providers everywhere else in the world is better and much, much more affordable.

    I'm using eSims this year. Nomad and Airalo get good reviews. https://esims.io/providers

    How do you carry the important stuff?

    The only place in the WORLD where I've had any problems with thieves is within the borders of the US. Best to stop listening to the propaganda you hear at home, and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the rest of the world. Buen Camino

    How to store and transfer videos when I am on the Camino.

    I used the app relive (relive.cc) to create a video and posted that on Facebook or sent it to people I know who asked but weren't on social media. I found the videos were actually viewed by very few people, but they are stored online, not on my device. I did purchase a memory stick along the...

    The Case for Using Hiking Poles When Going Uphill

    It is possible to buy the better quality poles in Spain, and avoid the hassle at airports ... while supporting those who make the caminos possible. Win - win 👍🏽

    Bring or Buy?

    I'd buy everything I could in Spain ... after all, it's the Spanish generosity that makes the caminos possible ... not some corporation from "home" ... and Spain is not a 3rd world country. You can find everything there that you "need" ... just like the original pilgrims had to do. Buen Camino

    Help! Pack too heavy! — CF Sept & Oct — Senior Woman

    You are on an "urban trek" ... if there is anything you need, you can buy it along the way ... if there is anything you decide you aren't using but you want to keep it, send it to Casa Ivar and pick it up at the end. The Camino Provides ...

    Tampons

    The Camino is, in reality, an "urban trek", Spain is not a third world country, and their sewage systems are not designed to cope with such items. Buen Camino

    App to track daily progress

    I'm pretty happy with relive.cc

    Relive App

    I find relive works seamlessly with my Android phone. I'm able to comment on each photo and add other photos from my gallery. You can edit photos in your "normal" way before you make your video.

    Relive App

    You can send your friends/relatives a link so they don't need to use any form of social media to view your video.

    Packing list review - Camino del Norte/Primitivo in June

    Everything is available somewhere along the way ... and fun to find. Spain is not a 3rd world country, and supplies some of the finest outdoor equipment you can find. I like to purchase what I need locally, after all, the locals make the caminos possible ... Buen Camino.

    BEWARE: Virgin Mobile - no Spanish roaming cover until 17th of May, 2023.

    I always buy local SIM cards wherever I go. I refuse to pay exorbitant fees to my carrier ... much rather support the local economy.

    Buying poles or staff in Irun/San Sebastian?

    I purchased mine at Leire Sport.

    Not your usual question about hiking poles

    I still prefer supporting the locals who make the caminos possible ... rather than give my money to customs officials or airlines, etc.
