I have worked and lived in both Muxía and Fisterra on and off for 10 years. Never heard of this there but I am sure they will. If it's ok for the Cathedral it will be ok for M and F. If the hospi at the Xunta albergue in Muxía won't do it, Ángel and Celia at Albergue Bela Muxía surely will...
Hospedería San Martín Pinario has 24 reception and check in. English-speaking. But if it is your first time in Santiago and you don't want to spoil the surprise of arriving from your Camino, you may not want to stay there, it is right by the cathedral. When booking, tell them you are a...
Town centre, very small bus station, a big shed really. The yellow bus to Canfranc, it leaves from the first bay on the right hand side as seen from the entrance opposite the squaré with bars and restaurants. Pay on the bus. No 'facilities' in bus station.
Señorita Pepis was a much loved fictional character who gave her name to a range of school and lunch backpacks, and accessories, for girls of the 1970s in Spain.
But the Skylark canal boat from just after Boadilla to Frómista isn't affected, at least not yet. Will doubtless be different when they start buiding the viaduct itself, at the moment it's just the pillars being built.
For travel to Belorado: fairly frequent daily Jiménez buses from Burgos, Nájera, and Logroño, the nearest transport hubs. The bus calls at all the Camino villages between Burgos and Logroño, except those between Burgos and Villafranca Montes de Oca. If you board at Burgos or the new Logroño...

If you can bring the items with you to SJPdP or anywhere westwards on the Francés, Jacotrans will do this as well as Correos. Correos within Spain only, Jacotrans on the Francés from SJPdP westwards. See the section...
Regrettably not Frans, I left the albergue in early summer 2020. I was ordered to become a reception centre for the Red Cross, an interesting 3 months, with the homeless from Zamora to get them off the streets during covid, and once movement was possible again the ayuntamiento decided the...
Yes, last May (2023) Anabela opened her house in Segirei as pilgrim accommodation. Pricey but excellent. You can also still sleep in the old school but you would need to take food. The village is coming to life, and is very actively welcoming pilgrims. There was a campaign to open an...
I haven't used the Correos Paq Peregrino service but it is often used by pilgrims and reliable. Even if they can't collect on Saturday, ask your accommodation if you can leave your things with them until Monday morning. Two things: Correos requires suitcases to be locked, either with a travel...
