    SIM CARD that works in BOTH France AND Spain

    Please excuse my ignorance, but here goes….. Is there a “prepago” SIM card that will work in both France and Spain, or do I need to get one in each place? I arrive in Madrid on May 5. On May 8, I have to be in SJPP where I will be a volunteer at the Pilgrim Office from May 9 to May 23. On May...

    Can I have my backpack transported to municipal albergues?

    I used CORREOS and in BAAMONDE, on the NORTE, they were dropped at a bar across the street and I had to leave it in the same place the next morning. It is probably the same on the FRANCES for those that have the arrangement.

    Best Mobile Phone SIM card and plan in Europe?

    I used a República Móvil SIM card and it was fantastic. For €20 a month, you get 23GB of data and, I believe, one hour of talk time, which was more than sufficient for calling ahead for reservations. And unused data rolls over to the next month when you renew. I also discovered a neat trick...

    Renewing prepaid phone plan

    Vodafone was the pits for me, especially this past year. If you run out of data, the speed slows to a crawl and you can't renew until the date. And you also had to renew in person. I renewed in Santiago on the day I was leaving for Finisterre. The clerk couldn't get the card to activate and...

    Should or shouldn't I bring a camera (Sony a6300)?

    I use a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX500. It has a 30x zoom, 18M pixels, many special effects possibilities, including video, and a viewer screen that tilts 180° allowing for selfies, though I preferred my phone for those. I never felt the need for anything more. The camera weighs in at 8.3 ounces...

    best way to organise photographs

    If I were YOU, I'd use a grammar and a punctuation checker.

    Bed Bug Protector Sheet. Effective? Availability?

    I was on the Camino from May 17 to June 26 last year. I stayed in albergues maybe two-thirds of the time. I never saw a bedbug; I never felt a bed bug; I never heard anyone else mention them either. And I always slept on the bottom. Maybe I was just lucky!! My bedding was nothing more than a...

    Drawstring bag to hold backpack

    I just ordered a canvas drawstring bag from "www.totebagfactory.com." Total price, including shipping, was $10.89. The bag also has a shoulder strap. It should arrive tomorrow. I am hoping to take it to a sewing place to see if they can put three or four metal reinforced holes in it, through...
