    LIVE from the Camino Knee flare up and no room at the inn. Coastal rt

    No. Not surprised to be honest! I think you needed to act straightaway on that one as such a good, price, location and outstanding reviews. Giveaway price in my view, so would never be avail for too long in a ‘real time’ booking system. Think lead in price is now €91 for a different property...

    Proof required on entering Spain of accomodation bookings during the visit?

    The only country that I always get asked for something (and it’s proof of onward travel out of the country is Colombia. This has been asked for by the airline every time I have checked in… not at border control.

    Abandoned elderly pilgrims

    I always message ahead and ask for a lower bunk. Reasonable amount of success and nothing to lose. One hostel manager said she qelcomed the message as it was useful when they were putting her ‘sleeping plans together as they had no ideas of peoples ages, mobility so it’s a blank sheet alert...

    Yes I can see the €60 rooms which seems to be the cheapest. Not a bad price I thought!

    Enjoying regional wine on the Camino

    Yes indeed. These won’t be seeing any Camino action (I was due to be doing Ingles next week but have had to postpone as need to be back in London). So walking to Coruna (here on vacation) bus and train station to get to a lot of different places in Galicia, is the only action they will see...

    Enjoying regional wine on the Camino

    Probably reasonable to say I have drunk a fair amount of wine in Galicia, but have never come across a ‘Cunca’ before until today. My partner went into a bar in to Ourense, was asked if she wanted ‘house wine’, said yes, and emerged with a coupe of glasses of wine in ‘cuncas’ filled to the...

    Bus from Finisterre to Muxia on a Saturday

    It’s give some the option to buy, unless it kicks me out later in process.

    Trip insurance duration limits for Irish resident

    I’ve spent a lot of time on travel insurance in the last 5 years after 50+ years of just booking the cheapest in 5 mins. I am not a fan of recommending policies as it’s need to be tailored to your needs. Age, whether you have pre existing, or undiagnosed symptoms , whether you are going on...

    Trip insurance duration limits for Irish resident

    Yes agreed. Certainly nothing extra required on my policy. Some companies ask for extra premiums if you are trekking at high altitude but obviously not relevant here. The one thing I do look out for though is the search and rescue coverage. I walk a lot (Camino and other trails) so whilst of...

    Need Information about No RENFE Train Service

    Sure, they will all play a role, but when I compare to the exact same period last year and the year before it quite a big change. More than I would expect anyway.

    Need Information about No RENFE Train Service

    I have been looking at a lot of train and buses this week within Spain (albeit to book in the short term) and the number and trains and buses that have been full has been quite staggering and unprecedented to me and I spend a lot of time here and catch a lot of train and buses! Specifically Alsa...

    Trip insurance duration limits for Irish resident

    Ah ok! I only bother with the medical side. Don’t bother with anything else. Ignore me then! Maybe consider with whether you need that! Im

    Trip insurance duration limits for Irish resident

    Ok well I am sure someone from Ireland can help. I know my way round insurance from a UK standpoint. Things like preempting health conditions, undiagnosed symptoms all play a part. On the upside you have the EU health card so you are in a good position but doesn’t include repatriation or any...

    Trip insurance duration limits for Irish resident

    What country do you reside in? Ireland? You will need a forum member from Ireland to advise as travel insurance tends to be very specific to your country of residence.

    Bus options from A Coruna to Ribadeo for Camino do Mar

    It’s the FEVE train. If you go to Renfe site and say do a search Ferrol to Ribadeo you will be able to see the 70 or stations between the two including Viviero. It stops every two mins in all sorts of remote places! . It links up most to the north coast of Spain, it goes east far beyond...
