Does anyone know if there’s an actual currency exchange place in St. Jean? I am aware that I can get money out of ATM machines. Thanks in advance!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

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.

I think the answer is no. There isn't.

Godgle says “No”. There’s unlikely to be a Bureau de Change in StJ. Although it sits on a national border it isn’t an international entrepôt nor does it sit on a currency border.
ATM’s are effective Bureaus de Change. If you’re trying to launder a few k/$ in loose folding then Paris or Bordeaux offer the best opportunities but the worst exchange rates
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Exactly, even the worst ATM charges don't compare to the abysmal commission rates of the old exchange bureau.

Thread 'Buying an Apartment in Spain?'
Bit of wishful thinking here. We were looking at our options over lunch today. I'd love to retire, but can't unfortunately. But I can work remotely. And ease back my working hours a bit. I'm hoping to walk a fair few more Caminos before age and ill health catches up with me. So living in Spain for a few months each year is a possibility. Potentially we could downsize here, and buy a small apartment/studio somewhere fairly central, and take breaks of a few days from work to go walk...- Robo

Thread 'Twenty year anniversary of the Camino de Santiago forum'
Congratulations Ivar. We are starting the third decade of the Camino de Santiago forum. The first post available for us to see is #1 on thread #3, titled “Hostal Suso” dated October 12, 2004. That is actually the third post ever (I'm assuming the first two threads and posts were tests and deleted). Thank you so very much for helping so very many. Stick around for a while longer. We still need you.- Rick of Rick and Peg

Thread '447,704 and still counting!'
When the Santiago pilgrim office opened this morning the running total of Compostelas issued for this year stood at 445,807. Today they handed out another 1,897. Making the new total for the year to date 447,704. More than were issued in the whole of 2023 (446,078) which was itself a new record year. And there are still nearly 3 months left of this year.- Bradypus

Thread 'On the Camino: One Day at a Time, one Photo at a Time 11.0'
Welcome to the 11th photo of the day thread! Started during the height of Covid when we were all house-bound, these threads have taken on a life of their own, and a reliable daily source of joy for all of us who are home and thinking about the Camino. So this is a place to share memories and short reflections, one photo per day, one day at a time. Some of us will not make it to Spain this year, so this is our every day Camino fix. If you have been along for the ride since 1.0, you may find...- VNwalking
