I will be traveling from the United States to France and Spain in the summer to hike the Camino Frances. My health insurance doesn't provide international coverage? Will I need to purchase travel health insurance? If so, I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has already looked into...
As a UK citizen I can access healthcare in any EU country for free (or at least very little) using my EHIC/GHIC card. My flight to France was only around £50. I don't have my return flight booked yet. My luggage is probably worth no more than £200. My smartphone is insured separately. I'm 29...
This news release states that to gain entry to Spain from a non-Schengen country you must now prove that you have €100 available for each day that you intend to be in Spain.
I wonder what has been your experience with this law.
That would mean for example that if you are flying to Madrid from...
We're scheduled to start our camino in SJPdP in early September, flying into CDG from the US, and end in mid-October, flying back to the US from Spain. My husband is a permanent resident of the US but his citizenship is currently with Mexico. I've read a hundred different websites to figure out...
Hi Everyone
I am leaving to start my Camino on the 26th of April and am sorting some travel insurance.
I just wondered if anyone had found a company that covers this sort of trip.
Many thanks
Viv
I am a Canadian living in Mexico. I've been trying to find health insurance for my Camino Frances and hoping someone can make a recommendation. I've searched the forum and other resources but all the companies that are mentioned are from the U.S. or other countries and don't have an option for...
Hi - given a 2 year hiccup in our Camino plans we were hoping to ‘fill our boots’ this year 😊 However it seems as Brexited Brits (🙄)we can stay for 90 days on a tourist visa in any 180 days - meaning our plans to fit in 2 Caminos this year may be scuppered. I was reading that travel ‘for...
We're well into our planning stages for a long-delayed return to life on the Camino.
Hoping to set out in late April from Le Puy, then make our way down along the Via Podiensis then cut across to the Del Norte and continue along the way until either our visa, our legs, our health, our interest...
Hello,
I'm a first-time Camino walker that will be doing the Camino Primitivo solo in September 2022. I will be in Spain for approximately three weeks.
I'm seeking advice regarding travel / medical insurance for my trip. I'm 39 years old and in overall good health with no underlying...
I’m quoting, above, @Richard Smith from another thread. I thought his laconic comment warranted a thread of its own. There must, after all, be quite a few fellow travellers out there.
…because metaphorically my bits are definitely beginning to fall off. It is not a coincidence that I wrote my...
The following article: www.euronews.com/travel/2021/11/15/brits-and-americans-must-pay-7-to-travel-to-the-eu-from-2022 explains that starting in 2022, non-EU citizens/residents will be required to pay an additional 7€ as well as to complete additional documentation prior to entering the EU. One...
I was wondering if any Camino hikers keep documents on the internet
on a cloud drive like Google Drive, etc? Documents could include your passport,
driver's license, medical history, insurance card, etc. I know there are risks
involved with putting stuff on the cloud. I would have them on a...
Wondering those of you who are using travel insurance mainly for medical and using air miles to fly, can tell me what to put in the box for cost-of travel? Should I be gestimating the cost of the ticket…or, should I put in zero for cost. I talked to several people at two different companies...
Hello everyone! I booked my first camino flight again! As soon i booked to Porto i heard about Portugal possible new restrictions. I have a question for those that bought insurance. I didn't see offering it on the site when i bought the ticket. Since i didn't buy it last week together with the...
Hi
Can someone send me some links to official government websites for the US, Canada, Australia, UK and New Zealand with information about travel restrictions to and from each country?
Please note, I am only interested in official sources of information. I'm looking for the sites prospective...
Hello fellow pilgrims,
I am travelling from Australia, planning my Camino Francis and would like to finish in Finisterre. The time required for this and our additional holiday after the Camino is a total of 100 days. We have been told by our travel agent we can only stay in Europe for 90 days...
I would like to walk the French Camino again next Summer with my Thai friend. As a UK subject I can enter Spain easily, but my Thai friend needs to show prearranged accommodation to get a tourist visa for Spain. Since we planned to look for a hostel at the end of each day, prearranging...
Hi All,
I was wondering if you could advise what is the best travel insurance to get for the Primitivo from UK.
I will start the Camino the 27th of September if all goes well :)
Thanks in advance.
Sandra
I'm aware that variations of this question have been asked/posted previously, but I can't find an answer to my specific question, so here goes (and apologies in advance if it has been answered somewhere and I missed it).
All being well, next year I wish to spend 5 weeks or so undertaking an...
Hi everyone,
I've been writing in a lot lately, but everyone has been brilliant so far in what I've been asking!
This time around I'm looking for travel insurance. I'm flying from Ireland to Biarritz in September to do the Camino Del Norte. Can anyone advise specifically on what would be...
