    Obtain the QR-CODE before you arrive in Santiago.

    I’m departing Oviedo today to begin my Camino. In reading this thread, am I to understand correctly that I could register my credencial information today if I wanted to do that? (i.e., register now via the QR code on my brand new credencial, enter the required information and submit, receive...

    Thank you very much! Your pledge will count toward my drive no matter where you plan to donate blood (Red Cross, local blood bank, hospital, etc.).

    Dear Fellow Pilgrims, On September 15, I will begin my 200-mile Camino solo hike from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela. This adventure is to celebrate my 40th birthday. I am looking forward to this opportunity to not only “unplug” and reflect, but also to support a cause that is incredibly...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Spanish health form QR code issues

    Thanks, @C clearly. I called customer service at my departure airport (Charlotte Douglas International Airport) for guidance. The person with whom I spoke said either entering your First Name or First and Middle Name should be fine. I entered the form with my First and Middle Name so it...

    I'm seeking guidance for completing the FCS Form concerning the following situation: My Passport includes my First and Middle Name ... but my CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card only lists my First Name. The FCS Form asks you to enter your "Surname" and then your "Name" (the latter doesn't...

    LIVE from the Camino Currently on the Primitivo

    @DMSyracuse - I am starting from Oviedo on September 15. Were the temperatures fairly cool in the early mornings and evenings during the hilly/mountainous legs of the Primitivo? I was planning to bring a light/insulated jacket.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Seeking guidance whether I’m permitted to travel on September 12

    Thanks for your input, @walkinglover! I want to make sure that I'm not adding further confusion to Forum members from the U.S. who are planning to travel to Spain soon and had similar questions about entry requirements. I've received some good input over the last couple days from Members who...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Seeking guidance whether I’m permitted to travel on September 12

    Thank you for answering my question and providing me relief. I am to understand that since I have one booster that I should be all set (no PCR required for entry), correct? One final question: are they still requiring US passengers to submit the QR SPTH? Is that a pretty straightforward...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Seeking guidance whether I’m permitted to travel on September 12

    Hi everyone, I’m seeking input regarding my case. I delayed getting a second booster (mainly because I got Covid in early June 2022). I am scheduled to fly on September 12. And now I’m worried whether I am permitted to travel because of Spain’s entry requirements. I’m a little confused...

    Should I bring sleeping bag liner for mid-September camino.

    I will be walking the Primitivo in the second half of September. I will be staying in private albergues / accommodation all but one night. I assume most of these places will private sheets (free or for a small fee). Would you still recommend that I bring a sleeping bag liner at least? Thank you

    Albergue de Bodenaya (Primitivo) for sale

    I’m so sad to read this news. I have a reservation for this mid-September. If I’m reading this message correctly, David and Celia will continue to operate through this year?

    Accommodation options in/near Cornellana: municipal albergue (the monastery), Roca Madre

    I was planning to stay at the municipal albergue in Cornellana (the monastery - I'm appealed by the history of the space), but I recently learned about a donativo just 1 km from town where I assume I could make a reservation in advance: Roca Madre. Does anyone have experiences there? Thank you!

    Just got back home from the Primitivo

    @marcoberna Thank you for your wonderful report. This got me even more excited about my upcoming journey on the Camino Primitivo. I walk out of Oviedo on September 15. If you have any monuments and eating/drinking establishments that you recommend as "must-do" experiences, please let me know...

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    Just closing this news feed with two final updates: - I spoke with a very kind AA customer service person just now. He said I should never have been charged for the earlier flight. They are going to submit a refund request. Thank you, everyone! - I'm keeping my current itinerary (i.e...

    American Airlines canceled my direct flight to Madrid / seeking guidance for getting to Oviedo as planned

    I didn’t accept the new itinerary; I received an email stating that “there’s been a change to your trip” with the new itinerary. I don’t travel often and am very inexperienced. I would have pushed back had I been more seasoned about all the matters discussed on this thread, MCT policies, etc.
