unusual request... translator....

[normandog]

I am wondering if anyone has found access to a translator in spain to help with bookings. I am travelling in July by bike... and would like to pre book spots as are available. I have vocal cord damage... and really don't speak spanish anyways. When I am calling , I feel that the host on the other end can understand my feeble attempt at a booking, but I cant tell what they are saying. Does anyone know of anyone who might, for a fee, book me some accomodation. I could email particulars to someone, and send over a cheque, or pay cash when I arrive.
Many thanks

Ivar should be able to put you in touch with someone to do that.

On the one occasion that I felt important to book ahead, the English speaking Spanish hospitalera where I was staying was kind enough to ring the next albergue for me. I was staying in a private albergue. It would not have been possible at all the Xunta albergues that I used - most of the time the hospitaleros didn't stay for long, only being there to check someone in if they arrived late.

We pre booked all our albergues by email, used Google translate to translate to Spanish.
