Hi Everyone I am leaving to start my Camino on the 26th of April and am sorting some travel insurance. I just wondered if anyone had found a company that covers this sort of trip. Many thanks Viv

I am a Canadian living in Mexico. I've been trying to find health insurance for my Camino Frances and hoping someone can make a recommendation. I've searched the forum and other resources but all the companies that are mentioned are from the U.S. or other countries and don't have an option for...

Hi - given a 2 year hiccup in our Camino plans we were hoping to ‘fill our boots’ this year 😊 However it seems as Brexited Brits (🙄)we can stay for 90 days on a tourist visa in any 180 days - meaning our plans to fit in 2 Caminos this year may be scuppered. I was reading that travel ‘for...

We're well into our planning stages for a long-delayed return to life on the Camino. Hoping to set out in late April from Le Puy, then make our way down along the Via Podiensis then cut across to the Del Norte and continue along the way until either our visa, our legs, our health, our interest...

Hello, I'm a first-time Camino walker that will be doing the Camino Primitivo solo in September 2022. I will be in Spain for approximately three weeks. I'm seeking advice regarding travel / medical insurance for my trip. I'm 39 years old and in overall good health with no underlying...

I’m quoting, above, @Richard Smith from another thread. I thought his laconic comment warranted a thread of its own. There must, after all, be quite a few fellow travellers out there. …because metaphorically my bits are definitely beginning to fall off. It is not a coincidence that I wrote my...

The following article: www.euronews.com/travel/2021/11/15/brits-and-americans-must-pay-7-to-travel-to-the-eu-from-2022 explains that starting in 2022, non-EU citizens/residents will be required to pay an additional 7€ as well as to complete additional documentation prior to entering the EU. One...

I was wondering if any Camino hikers keep documents on the internet on a cloud drive like Google Drive, etc? Documents could include your passport, driver's license, medical history, insurance card, etc. I know there are risks involved with putting stuff on the cloud. I would have them on a...

Wondering those of you who are using travel insurance mainly for medical and using air miles to fly, can tell me what to put in the box for cost-of travel? Should I be gestimating the cost of the ticket…or, should I put in zero for cost. I talked to several people at two different companies...

Hello everyone! I booked my first camino flight again! As soon i booked to Porto i heard about Portugal possible new restrictions. I have a question for those that bought insurance. I didn't see offering it on the site when i bought the ticket. Since i didn't buy it last week together with the...

Hi Can someone send me some links to official government websites for the US, Canada, Australia, UK and New Zealand with information about travel restrictions to and from each country? Please note, I am only interested in official sources of information. I'm looking for the sites prospective...

Hello fellow pilgrims, I am travelling from Australia, planning my Camino Francis and would like to finish in Finisterre. The time required for this and our additional holiday after the Camino is a total of 100 days. We have been told by our travel agent we can only stay in Europe for 90 days...

I would like to walk the French Camino again next Summer with my Thai friend. As a UK subject I can enter Spain easily, but my Thai friend needs to show prearranged accommodation to get a tourist visa for Spain. Since we planned to look for a hostel at the end of each day, prearranging...

Hi All, I was wondering if you could advise what is the best travel insurance to get for the Primitivo from UK. I will start the Camino the 27th of September if all goes well :) Thanks in advance. Sandra

I'm aware that variations of this question have been asked/posted previously, but I can't find an answer to my specific question, so here goes (and apologies in advance if it has been answered somewhere and I missed it). All being well, next year I wish to spend 5 weeks or so undertaking an...

Hi everyone, I've been writing in a lot lately, but everyone has been brilliant so far in what I've been asking! This time around I'm looking for travel insurance. I'm flying from Ireland to Biarritz in September to do the Camino Del Norte. Can anyone advise specifically on what would be...

I thought I would report in for those of us Canadians that are concerned about traveller's insurance for our trips over to Europe. I just received an email from Alberta Blue Cross that states "even though the Canadian government has not lifted it's non-essential travel warning", they are going...

I am planning so many caminos for next year, to make up for not being able to go for 2 years, but it has suddenly occurred to me that we’ve had Brexit in the meantime. I live in South Africa, but travel on a British passport. Can Brits still travel freely in Europe, or are they now at the mercy...

After the story this week, I was wondering - what happens if you get Covid on the trail? Does anyone in Spain know what the process is? Galicia has Covid insurance to reimburse pilgrims that get Covid. However what about the rest of the Camino? What are the policies around quarantining &...

I just realized my passport expires in January of 2022. I leave for Spain Sept. 9th returning on the 27th. There is a long wait for passports and I hate to apply and send my passport in to be renewed. Does anyone have experience with this situation and advice as to what to do? Thanks.
