Camino de Santiago - Jacquie's Questions - About the Camino Frances

Lots of great questions recently about the Camino de Santiago. This question from Jacquie who plans to walk the Camino Frances..

Oh how long have you got 😆
My friend and I are doing the Camino de Frances September next year. The whole 835kms?
We’re looking at a self guided tour where each nights accom is booked, luggage transfers and brekkie. We’re both 60+ so a little bit of comfort appeals to us. We’re experienced hikers and have done many hikes over the years. The Camino always being a bucket list hike.
So my questions ,
I like to graze constantly when hiking. Snacking on food really helps keep my energy levels up especially that we’d be walking 22-30kms per day. So are there little shops that provides snack food ? I’d bring some from home but can’t really travel OS with food. Usually nuts, fruit, cheese and biscuits , few lollies etc.
Also my husband and daughters will worry about me 😌 so I’d like to check in with them at the end of the day. Does most of the accom have wifi? I watched your video re communication and you’re suggesting a SIM card for local communication.
I am coming from Perth WA.
I’m planning to fly to Barcelona then hop on a train to SJPDP where our first nights accom would be. So what’s your suggestions to get from the train station to my accom as some things I’ve read ,is cabs can be very expensive. Plus I’m travelling alone and meeting my friend at SJPDP.
Thanks in advance. 👍🏼
