The current situation in a nutshell: the new digital vaccine EU Pass and the one from Switzerland are said to be compatible, but not approved yet. According to the news, this is supposed to happen at the beginning of July, then there are several weeks long time for the implementation. (It's typical and a laugh: The bureaucrats on both sides had at least a year to anticipate the eventual end of the pandemic but instead, they sat on their butts.) Moreover, every EU member is free to set up their own rules.
I have already booked my end-of-August flight from Geneva direct to Bayonne and accommodation from SJPdP to SdC, but this means that I first enter France with the risk of special diverging rules of entry. Alternatively, I could fly to Barcelona, take a train to Pamplona and start from there all within Spain, which seems to be more relaxed regarding entry.
It's not a question of starting point, but about possible risks of Covis related entry formalities, which nobody knows at this stage. What route would a sensible Peregrino choose? (I btw have had both shots)
It's important to me, not to miss this Camino. With two cancer surgeries, a quintuple bypasses, and triple stents recently behind– and yet another planned heart surgery before me, I have a time window from the end of August to the end of September to most likely do my last Camino. In this window falls the first anniversary of my younger daughter's passing away because of cancer and I want to dedicate this walk to her.
Your opinions will help me to decide, thanks.
