Yes, but it looks like it's pretty easy to fill the form online.Wow! that means almost everyone on routes outside of Galicia will need to register!
and don't forget the free Covid insurance for tourists and pilgrims on Galicia.Seem pragmatic. It allows for efficient contract-tracing if there is any concern that travellers have been in contact with a symptomatic carrier. With albergues and hotels always having had an obligation to track clients' arrivals and departures, this will add a layer of health protection.
Yeah... I love that.and don't forget the free Covid insurance for tourists and pilgrims on Galicia.

If you come to Galicia, you’ll be safe for sure!During your holiday in Galicia, you’ll be covered by the new COVID-19 travel insurance.A destination is much more ...Much ...www.turismo.gal
My own understanding, based on what I remember to have read and also on this thread about Mandatory Travel Form for Galicia from August 2021, says that this form and the requirement to fill it in is nothing new. You have to fill in the form when you have been, during the previous 2 weeks, in an area classified as a high risk area by the regional government of Galicia.I became aware of a new requirement to register when entering Galicia from this article:
To be precise, the Galician government is paying the insurer a premium of 1 054 500 € for the 'free' Covid-19 insurance for pilgrims and other tourists.I remember vaguely that they paid a premium in the range of hundreds of thousands of €'s.
It sounds like that covers all accomodation with the exception of visiting in a friend's home, should you have one. This is good news for most of us on this forum.Regulated accommodation is, in the given context, accommodation that is regulated by law for tourism: a hotel, a casa rural, a pension, an albergue, a rented apartment or villa on the beach.

I know! That's why I was initially curious and a bit skeptical, but it does seem to be quite true/real in this case.Um!
“Free” usually entails loopholes.
This registration may be just that.
I think I think it will be another year away from the Camino it is getting too complicated to travel outside of Canada many wonderful trails here.Yes, but it looks like it's pretty easy to fill the form online.
Filling out this form is not complicated. Easily done online and on a mobile phone but I am sure that in Galicia they will rustle up a pen and a piece of paper to fill in if you insist. It is even available in English. See for yourself, what do you think?it will be another year away from the Camino it is getting too complicated to travel outside of Canada
Thank you Kathar1na for the link.Filling out this form is not complicated. Easily done online and on a mobile phone but I am sure that in Galicia they will rustle up a pen and a piece of paper to fill in if you insist. It is even available in English. See for yourself, what do you think?

Yes, I think the only sort of accommodation that might not be covered is if you stayed in an AirBnB type apartment that wasn't officially registered as tourist accommodation.Regulated accommodation is, in the given context, accommodation that is regulated by law for tourism: a hotel, a casa rural, a pension, an albergue, a rented apartment or villa on the beach.
It is always good to get feedback from pilgrims who had walked recently, thank you.Not a new requirement but when I was on Camino in October, no one seemed to know anything about it and I didn’t know any pilgrims that registered….. not saying no one did, it just wasn’t a big deal.
Stay safe.. I hear it might be quite the storm!I was recently in Andalucia - not on camino. We were in an apartment rental for 3 weeks. Andalucia also offers tourists Covid insurance so I researched a bit. Accommodations have to be officially recognized by the Andalucian government. In the case of apartments, they have to be registered and given a number. My apartment was. The registration number was on its Bookking.com listing. I imagine this might also apply to the Galicia insurance program.
Came back home to New England just in time to prepare for "the winter storm that could break records for snow accumulation." Wish I were in Spain!
Yes @Anniesantiago I agree that the form does not appear well set up for the Camino.I feel pretty stupid because honestly, I don't quite understand it.
I looked at the form.
The first thing is "Departure" ... departure from where? From the United States on the day I leave home?
Do I fill this out before I fly to Spain or on the day(s) before entering Galicia while walking?
For the phone prefix, the online system will not accept 1. You need to use 001Yes, but it looks like it's pretty easy to fill the form online.
