Lots done and more to do!
I have been trying to book an alsa bus on their site with a foreign credit card. Has anybody got to to work?? Their are a few old 2012 trip advisor posts saying it doesn't work. It accepts the data and then just spins and spins with no message saying that the payment has been accepted??
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
You can also try the GoEuro website or app. We've had no issues booking Renfe tickets through GoEuro with our credit card, and I believe they link to bus companies as well.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

I had no troubles by paying with my danish VISA. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it worked perfectly fine... I don't know where the problem lies :/
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Hi I'm travelling to Burgos to walk part of the Camino Frances next year and my options seems to be fly into Santander and coach to Burgos, or fly into Madrid, then coach to Burgos. Don't think...
Hello! I’ve been browsing the forum and there’s plenty of info for baggage transfers from stage to stage, where you pick it up daily, give it back and move on, however what I’m after is a service...
