Looking for advice for a friend who is currently on the Frances. He has some dollars that he did not exchange because he was keeping it in reserve but now he needs it and is having trouble finding somewhere to exchange it. I believe he will be in Fromista tomorrow. I have been looking online trying to figure out where he can take his dollars to get exchanged. Can he do it at a Correos office?

Currency exchange is not really a 'thing' these days, other than at Airports.........in my experience anyway.
Most people just use ATMs.
But maybe ask in one of the major banks?

It is really awkward to do nowadays, as I found to my cost on my camino earlier this year. Banks are legally supposed to offer the service, but in reality will only do so if you have an account with them. On the CF, there are a few cities which have a money exchange - Pamplona, Logroño, Leon, and SdC itself. On the Via de Bayona, I had to take a day off twice, in order to travel to San Sebastian and Logroño to change money. I got a good rate in both places, fwiw.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
