My wife and I recently completed the section, Astorga to Sarria. We were very dissapointed to see that some ****hole from Wales
felt the need to take both a Black and a White spray paint + a Black marker to deface lots of road and information surfaces with " Cymru am Byth". surely this is not in the spirit of the Camino.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Graffiti is one of the less pleasant aspects of the Caminos these days. And in my opinion that includes the many "inspirational" messages as well as the more overtly repellent scrawl. I saw some of the "Cymru am byth" tags in January too. As a long-time resident in Wales I found them particularly irritating and I am sure that most of my neighbours would feel the same.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
