    How much cash to bring?

    Thanks. My bank only allows two free ATM withdrawals a month, so I need to pace that accordingly on my trip.

    Getting From A Coruna (LCG) airport to Ferrol - Taxi VS Bus/Train

    You take the #4051 bus from the airport into A Coruna, getting off at the Alfonso Molina bus stop. Your landmark will be a gas station on your left side and it's about 20 minutes from the airport. After getting off the bus, walk across the grassy strip, where you will find the main bus station...

    How much cash to bring?

    I did a search in this sub-forum but couldn't find anything recent. How much cash should I bring for the Ingles? All of my pre-booked accommodations except one accept credit card. That one place charges 30 euros. I'm going to guess that most dining places along the camino take card with some...

    Help! Where to buy a new hat on Camino Ingles?

    Consider catching a bus or whatever to The Style Outlets near A Coruna Airport. It's a big mall.

    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?

    Possibly because very few walk from A Coruna. By the time you get to Bruma, you should meet up with other pilgrims.

    Flying from SDC to Madrid - a simple yet frustrating question

    Madrid's other two airports do not accommodate commercial flights. All commercial airlines fly to MAD, Madrid-Barajas.

    Camino Ingles - how immersive an experience have you found it?

    I'm walking the Ingles as my first camino ever later this year. My own concern is that I won't feel that sense of elation and accomplishment once I arrive in SdC as it's just a 5 day walk vs a 5 week walk on the Frances. Oh well, it is what it is.

    Amount of time required to get from the Lisbon airport to Oriente train station

    Will you have to go through immigration as well? You should probably be out of the airport by 12:00-12:30PM and be at Oriente by 12:45PM at the latest, assuming your plane lands on time. You can take the Lisbon Metro as well. It's only a few stops from the airport to Oriente.

    Lisbon Hostels

    Home Lisbon Hostel is the best hostel I have ever stayed at, and I've been to 50 or so. It's perfectly centrally located in Lisbon, the staff are fantastic and they offer a communal dinner cooked both nights by Mamma. The amenities themselves are top-notch, with great beds and showers and a...

    Stamping process

    LOL. You would think Marriott could afford to get a nice Camino stamp commissioned for pilgrims staying at their property.

    How does one travel from the train station Madrid Chamartin to Madrid Barajas airport?

    It is ridiculously easy to get from Chamartin to the airport as there is a direct train between the two. It's also far cheaper than taking a taxi.

    7 day Camino - Sarria to Santiago 110KM

    Yeah, I'll be walking my first Camino later this year and chose the Ingles. Like you, I have a limited amount of time and the idea of walking a complete Camino had its appeal. The Ingles is also much less busy than the Frances but no less beautiful. You walk through fragrant eucalyptus forests...

    transporting of bags.

    Oh, I will also be staying at the Albergue San Lorenzo in Bruma. I didn't realize they didn't participate in the Correos backpack transfer. Did you have to make prior arrangements to have this other company transfer your pack or were you able to book them while you were at that albergue?

    7 day Camino - Sarria to Santiago 110KM

    The Camino Ingles is another route that you should consider. It is roughly the same distance as the one from Sarria to SdC and is a "complete" Camino, rather than a partial one. In the end, it doesn't really matter whether you do Barcelona before or after the Camino. Just go with whatever is...

    Camino Ingles vs the Inca Trail

    Thank you so much! I'm really looking forward to my first Camino. I love a good, long walk. That climb to Dead Woman's Pass was something though, huh? A steep incline with no flat sections that kept going up and up for hours! It felt like it would never end!
