COVID Live from the camino .. Covid

September 2023
Just an reminder/FYI - COVID is out there. I came up COVID + one day out of Burgos. I was fortunate to be able to double back to Burgos and get a hotel room to hunker down in for 5 days which is what I understand to be the correct COVID precautions. I will rejoin the camino just outside of Leon.

My best guess is I picked it up in San Juan de Ortega. It was raining and all inside places (bars and the church) were packed with pilgrims as well as a large group of what appeared to be kids on a school field trip. Up until then I had spent limited time inside with most if not all meals outside.

I am fortunate that I am able to build this bump into my camino but others may not be able to do so. Please be caution out there especially in crowded indoor spaces.

My daughter recommended bringing a couple of Covid test kits with me. I’m really glad I had them. Others traveling at my pace were worried about covid but were struggling to find local tests

I’m feeling better but not 100% and will still be hanging here for a few more days regardless

Buen camino
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Tests are available inexpensively in pharmacias in Spain, but you have to be in a big enough town to have a pharmacia. We also bring tests from home. We did get Covid on our Camino 2 years ago. It is also circulating here in our home in the state of Wyoming. So sorry you were sick...hope you are better now with no lingering symptoms.
 
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.
