  Dogs are always a bit of a concern. And there are lots on the Invierno. On my 2023 Camino I came across probably a hundred or two at least, along the VdlP, part of the Frances, the Invierno and the Fisterre. On only one occasion was I really...

  Actually I’ve always been taught that staring down a dog (eye to eye contact) is confrontational to a dog. Yes keep yourself aware and don’t turn your back but don’t look directly at a dog who is paying a lot of attention towards you

  Greetings to you, my fellow planner. I am totally anal about how far I am willing to walk and what my lodging entails, so I understand your mindset more than most. To me, nothing is more stressful than having to walk another 5-10k to the next...

  I want to say thanks for everyones input. He got things figured out. I learned some new things from this post. Mainly get any money you need changed asap and don't plan on doing it at a bank or you will be SOL.

  I have no idea. I doubt that a small bank branch in Fromista (this is the concrete situation in question) would open a bank account for a foreigner just for the purpose of changing $100 into euros. A lot has changed over the years and recent...

  a lot of times take a little cash to change at the airport so I have an initial infusion of local currency. Some countries may or may not have ATMs easily available so I like to know I have some to hit the ground with while I figure things out...

  Purely based on a google search you can exchange at correos, but you may want to check their site as to to whether you need to apply and collect, whether you can pay for your currency in cash, and which branches offer it...

  Walk into a Volksbank branch in rural Germany and ask for cash from your Volksbank Raiffeisenbank account and the staff will say that they can no longer do this and direct you to their ATM. It is the same in other European countries: arrive will...
