    Municipal albergues' WiFi-Camino not working for most pilgrims

    Sorry, I don't understand. Can you kindly elaborate please?

    Alert A flasher on the Camino del Norte

    Yes, I found out about all three incidents a day or two later, and only when I connected the dots and read about the white van flasher on this forum I took it seriously. I think pilgrims don't take their thoughts on such incidents too seriously, don't want to be a burden by overreacting or just...

    Municipal albergues' WiFi-Camino not working for most pilgrims

    A too long time ago to know about VPN? 😜 That was an emergency. It was inconvenient to find an ATM but I needed the cash asap to pay for accommodation. It was already late. After I lost one card, I went to the ATM next door and used my £ card. Risky I know but what were the chances of losing...

    Municipal albergues' WiFi-Camino not working for most pilgrims

    Can you specify? Do you mean speaking more with the albergue managers? Often there's a language barrier and they're not techy enough to help me. Today WiFi would be particularly useful as I have to check in for my flight back, amend my bus booking and block my currency card that a Spanish ATM...

    Alert A flasher on the Camino del Norte

    A flasher and a white van are back, on the Camino del Norte! It's hard to tell whether it's the same person. I know of three different pilgrims who encountered him directly on the Camino. He was making an inappropriate eye contact with each of them, using gestures to invite them into his van...

    Municipal albergues' WiFi-Camino not working for most pilgrims

    So, many of the cheap municipal albergues offer the same wifi network across the country available on all routes. But that network just doesn't work for most people. My first question is, why do they offer something faulty? I hope they replace it with something better soon. My second...

    Post items from the UK to Spain (at the mid-point of Camino del Norte)

    I suppose I meant Monday in San Sebastian because today is Sunday 😅 No problem for me to carry 2kg of protein powder over the hilly first section as my base backpack contents is only 4.5kg (plus water, plus powder), while, as a training, I hiked in the UK for a week with 12kg on my back👌🏻

    Post items from the UK to Spain (at the mid-point of Camino del Norte)

    I tried all protein powders but I only like one, Huel. They don't sell it in shops in Spain, I asked the company directly. Besides, I find default Huel protein powder too sweet for me. So I normally buy three bags of it. Two flavoured ones and one unflavoured, and mix them together. I brought...

    Paulo Coelho's "The Pilgrimage" to be made into a Netflix movie

    Wow, thanks for letting me know. I absolutely loved the book. One of my favourites! That book is the reason why I started walking the Camino. The book made me feel called to do it, but secretly maybe I felt I'd experience it exactly the way Paulo did! In a way, it felt like reading Carlos...

    Post items from the UK to Spain (at the mid-point of Camino del Norte)

    Hi All, I'm so grateful for this forum! So, long story short, I'm very reliant on a particular protein powder which you can't buy in Spain. I'm planning to arrive with some at Irun, and then collect the second portion near the halfway, so a bit before Oviedo. Which auberge, or other...
