New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
I can think of 2 also but I think they might have survived.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I was listening to a podcast called Camino Cafe and there was an interview with a couple who bought Casa Banderas in Paradela about 8k before Portomarin. The new owners have been trying to open since last year. It has been closed for a few years but my impression is that pilgrims had loved staying here.
The path and trials and tribulations that this couple has endured is a testament to their staying power and desire to open.
What may differ from others who tried to open is that it seems they luckily are financially secure and have been able to absorb the extra financial issues and challenges that a non Spaniard especially in times of Covid has to endure. My hat is off to them.
