There are several GR trails in Spain that I am looking at for my next adventure, none of which are the Camino Trails (too many people for me). My only other hiking outside of the US was in Scotland so language was not a barrier (outside of those folks I met from Glasgow...that was a different language altogether. ). Just curious for those of you who have travelled little known trails outside of the US how did you manage the language barrier issue? A book? Technology? I would appreciate any and all tips or comments outside of learning Spanish. The route would traverse a region that would encompass Portuguese, Basque and Catalan as well so it is not as simple as learning simple phrases in one language.
