    Vodafone a nightmare

    I have had good coverage so far with Vodafone. I did initially have issues with 2 step verification with my bank when booking ahead with my travel card as I was using a Spanish SIM card and a Spanish number that had to be changed with the bank (a major issue).

    Best footwear for Camino del Norte & Primitivo

    Thanks for the info on the alternate route off the Norte. It will require an extra effort to keep an eye on navigation and not simply following the arrows. But much appreciated.
