    Return from Muxia to Santiago

    We were there last year in the fall, when things were quite busy. No problem booking bus tickets once the schedule comes out, a few weeks ahead. You should be fine, but always good to have a backup

    Roncesvalles or Burguete?

    We were very happy with our stay in Burguete, but I will always walk further for a less busy place.

    Re: Current Lunch Prices

    We found that eating the larger meal around 3 after we were in for the day worked well. Dinner tended to be either tapas or something picked up from the grocery store.

    Baggage transfer on variante espiritual

    Both Correos and Caminofacil cover the Variante. If Combarro if that is one of your planned stops, go with Caminofacil. They offer luggage transfer there, but Correos does not.

    Question about stages and accomodation: Labruja, Armenteira

    Have you tried Carballo De Prado in Armentiera? ( on booking.com). They will pick you up and then return you to the next morning, there is a family room for 4 if it’s available. Or you could stay at the monastery de Poio, and then walk 7 km past Armentiera to Ribadumia and stay at Oscastanos...

    Reverse daily luggage transfer

    I have a tentative arrangement with Caminofacil for a reverse transfer from the central to coastal Portuguese routes for 2 days. The quote was more than the regular cost, but was a reasonable cost, would be worth checking with them.

    Cancelling Camino - Soliciting Advice

    You could also use a bag transport service for the first few days until you get your legs.

    Staying in Armenteira

    The other option would be to stay overnight in Combarro and then walk through Armentiera and walk a further 7 km to Riboudumia and stay as Os Castanos, ( email oscastanos@oscastanos.es). It’s a small hotel was 60€ for a double room with a great breakfast last year.

    Staying in Armenteira

    Accommodation is very limited, here are a few places to try. The pousada is pretty expensive, but if you are sharing not so bad.

    Extra days to fill

    We took 5 days to walk from Pondevedra, with stops in Combarro Armentiera Ribodumia Escrivatude ( just past Padron) Santiago Was a nice leisurely walk. You could bus out to Finnesterre, and the walk to Muxia ( taking 1 or 2 days) then bus back to Santiago. I loved that section

    How does our plan sound?

    from the boat landing, we walked to Picarana after a nice lunch stop and look around the market in Padron. It’s not picturesque, but made for an easy walk into Santiago the next day.
