What is the latest COVID rule in Spain/France walking the Camino? Eg. Do you need an app to check in at every albergues and restaurants? Do you need to wear face masks in public? Thanks.
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
It's basically just masks in public transport and in such medical situations as a pharmacy,and even the latter is not always enforced.
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
In Spain masks are only required in health care settings.
You can find information on this site from the Spanish government.

I think one question is what's required, but another one is what's considerate toward other pilgrims and the local communities we'll be walking through. COVID is still out there. Reasonable precautions like masks and a pre-trip booster will help stem the spread of COVID. People with up-to-date boosters (which I think means no more than 4-6 months since last one? have to check) are less likely to infect others, even if they themselves get it. I'm planning on getting yet another shot a couple weeks before leaving for Spain and will be one of the few still wearing a mask on public transport and indoors when there are others around. It's good that they're not requiring special check-in procedures, but the virus is not gone.

I am on the camino now, at Moratinos. Nobody is wearing masks. BUT almost all the peregrinos I meet have bad cold/flu bugs. I had a covid booster before I left home, just in case I needed it for emigration / immigration (I did). Sometimes the dorm is full. 12 people coughing all night. I wear my ear plugs (for snorers), eye mask (I always seem to be under the night light), AND my face mask (to reduce the chance of getting their viruses). It's a bit dodgy walking the camino in winter. Good luck!
