    Bus or taxi from Santiago to the airport?

    We are flying from Santiago to Barcelona on Sept 10, and must be at the airport at 6h50. We will stay just opposite the cathedral. What will be the best option to get to the airport? By bus or by taxi? Which will go the quickest and maybe more or less the prize?

    The electric coil changed my life on the Camino!

    The electric coil is the best thing EVA on the Camino!!! We used our coil last year merely every morning for that first morning coffee before we star walking!!! For the pleasure of it, you can carry it!
