FYI, using timestamps from photos this was my approximate Catalan last stage itinerary:
Left Ena: 8:30
Botaya: 10:30
Left road and headed up mountain trail: 10:45
Arrived new monastery: 11:45
Left new monastery: 12:30

WOW what a host of information my fellow pilgrims have and have graciously provided. Big thanks to you all.
I have never previously considered Barcelona to Santiago (just a bit too long). But the enthusiasm expressed above does encourage me the...
