We rented bikes from bicigrino -- they were amazing!! Had our bikes to the hotel we started at on July 13 and we just dropped them off today (July 28) -- along the way they were available by email for advice regarding some minor bike repairs and they have bike shops along the whole trail that they work with. Cannot recommend them enough! We ran into people who rented from other companies with not nearly as much luck. Buen Camino!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

This is a very old thread, and Edwina has not been on the forum since 2015.

You can probably find information in Bicycling on the Camino subforum or using the bicycling tag search.

You can also start your own thread on the topic.
