I went to Beep store on the corner of Avenida Republica Argentina 14 and Calle Villa Benavente very close to Albergue San Francisco de Asisi:Hi, Rachel,
So sorry to hear about this. I have done a quick search and found this place: http://repararleon.com/localizacion-y-contacto/
It's on Calle Ponce de Minerva, looks like it's not far from the Albergue of the Carbajalas. About a 10 minute walk from the cathedral.
It's a camera repair shop, but maybe they can help out with the cards as well. If you need help with the chip itself, I think @KinkyOne had to go to a computer guy in Leon to work on his phone. I will PM him to see if I'm right about that.
Fingers crossed, and sending you as much positive energy as I can through cyber space. Do not despair. Not to trivialize what has happened, but putting it into perspective and reflecting on all the things that have gone well is a great antidote. Buen camino, Laurie
I agree. I had a card go bad, and recovery services wanted hundreds of dollars to "maybe" recover files. I tried all manner of software and hardware before going to the recovery service, which I concluded was more a scam than a service. You may have to settle for the memories and previous photos from your four caminos!!put that card in your bag and wait until you get home to have it worked on, if for no other reason than ensuring clear communication of your wants for their service.
Thank you all. I had a new card (I left home with a few) so it's already in the camera and working fine. I've tucked the rascal card in my bag. It's a little painful to think of what's on there... San Bol and San Anton, and Castrojeriz (up at the castle ruins), and Boadilla. It represents my coolest 2 days on the Camino ever. I can live with only the memories if need be, but wow oh wow, I hope I can get the images back.
SY, you're in Prague, aren't you? That's where I'm living right now, so getting the card checked there could be tricky for me (mluvím česky jenom trochu). But I hope, hope, hope the photos can be recovered.
Thanks for the encouragement and understanding.

Rachel, really? We have to get together for a pivo/vino when you are back! My Czech is pitiful, but just around the corner from us Prague 6/Dejvice is a brilliant little computer shop that knows all sorts of tricks to get files back from unlikely sources. Give me a shout when you are back and I give you a hand with that reluctant memory card ;-) Buen Camino, SY

I love this place, where magical connections happen, just like this. Ask and ye shall receive.I'll sleep better knowing that. G'night from Spain!
That's the way I do it plus every evening I'd download (but not delete) to my iPad and sync with the cloud. (which also synced to Flickr...)Use two cards and swap them every day, that way, even if one card goes over the rainbow bridge, you still have photos from every second day. And yes, back up. SY
... I've heard the card manufacturer will do a recover for no charge. ...
Well even if it isn't free, I'd be willing to pay to get my pictures. The card producer is likely a good option to try?That was the case in the past for some high-quality aka very expensive cards, but as far as I know that is no longer the case. With the wide usage of digital photography such an offer would be easily the economic downfall of most companies.
Buen Camino, SY
Hi Rachel, are you back in Prague yet? Buen Camino, SY

Now that ime shooting more.."pro" lol...
There is a couple of wireless hard drives of 1 and 2 TB capacity that ime looking to gat as a back up device.
1 is portable, rechargable and has a slot for the card to dl to the hard drive,
Wireless capable, if your camera is too.
Ive been holding off for a while but its time that my photos that count are backed up at least once,
3 times was my normal in another life,
Glad you got your photos back!!!
