My sister and I have tickets to Spain from USA this year. I would appreciate any feed back from pilgrims that have traveled through Spain and if it is possible
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
As we do not have a crystal ball I do not know what will be possibe in August, as I do not know if by then:
- there will be inter regional travel restrictions
- vaccination in Spain goes as scheduled
- how many albergues will be open (and with which capacity)
- etc.

@geraldkelly has made an excellent FAQ about relevant issues, which I think can be of big help in your decision-making:

 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles

The "Free Guide" is well written and researched.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Hi @Pancho. That "Free Guide" is a good summary for the VDLP, as of "early April 2021," especially since it presents how the considerations all need to work together to allow the camino to return to full function.

I will close this thread now, for the reasons explained in this new thread. In no way is this a criticism of your question! Please continue to ask questions about the VDLP, and watch the forum for information as the conditions change and more pilgrims are walking.
