I am a U. S. Citizen, thanks for your advise.Probably, but not knowing what country is home to you, I am not positive. I travel from the U.S. and want medical and Med-evac insurance so I always take out a policy.
I will check out these suggestions so far. Thanks for the input.Good morning everyone. There is an option here in Spain, purchasing Caminocard, which gives you discounts in several shops, phrmacy, hotels and also includes a health insurance.
You can purchase it for 7, 15 or 30 days at 10,15 or 25 euros.
I have not used it since I am covered by my own health insurance but seems to be interesting and cheap.
Check: www.caminodesantiagocard.com
Cheers!
Sorry...I wasn't aware of the age limit (boy that makes me feel younger since I qualified). I googled "travel insurance for older travelers" and a lot of options popped up for over 65, 70s and 80s. Hopefully you can find an option on one of these sites.I'm still looking forward to doing the camino (I keep telling myself that an adventure is just a dream put into action) however, the years are passing and tho I'm in very good shape for the shape that I'm in, I will have to commit to doing the walk sometime in 2017 or 2018. I've looked at insuremytrip web page and they have age limitations. Wlhen my wife and I visit Europe or anywhere else outside of the US, we buy insurance through the tour group. Have never had to use, thank God. Can someone tell me if caminocard has age limitations. I have not been able to pull up a web page for them. If we put our plan into effect, It will be a September-October 60day walk. We hope to average about 10 miles (15-20 km) a day. We hope to plan in a number of layovers to explore, laundry, sample food, Food, FOOD and a little local wine or maybe a lot of wine. Please keep the forum updated with your day to day walks, maps and lots of pic. My God please protect you all as you journey down the path of life as you search out the meaning of your camine.
