    Default Computer and printer access along the Camino

    Is there access to the internet and printers available anywhere along the Camino?

    I booked my RyanAir flight and I have to print off my boarding pass 2 weeks before the flight (I can't print it off any earlier than that), so I'll be on my way to Santiago by that time, so I was wondering about printing it off.

    Thanks, Joe.

    All the albergues have internet PC's which usually cost around €2 for 20-30 minutes, but very few have printers.

    I usually print out my boarding card in one of the Internet Cafe's in Santiago. There is one in the same street as the Pilgrim Office in Santiago about 50m from the office. The internet cafe's all have printers.

    For the most part the alburgues have internet, however be prepared to go on a little time travel back in time to dial up speed. As far as printers I don't remember seeing any at all. For your tickets locate a travel office and have them do it for a couple of euros.

    RyanAir informed that I have to print them, if not it's €40 for them to print off a boarding pass (which is ridiculous). I didn't think about the internet cafe's! Stupid of me to discard them, I was so warped in the long distance walking and sleeping in albergues that it passed my mind to think that there will also be modern day technology in the cities lol. I now realise what a silly question this is haha

    A lot of Pilgrims use Internet Café's instead of the albergue machines because the connections are usually much faster, you can usually use Skype, and you can upload photographs from memory cards. There is usually at least one Internet Café within 50m of most of the town centre albergues, but out in the sticks you are stuck with queuing for the albergue machines which are not normally very fast!
