I am trying to book a train from Santiago to Madrid on 7 May and find that all trains are full and also for about the preceding 3 or 4 days. If I go directly to the train station when I arrive in Santiago on the 5th, is there any chance that I could get a ticket? Last year I booked at the...
A friend is flying to Barcelona and then wants to walk for 10 days on the Camino Frances. What is the easiest way to link up with the Camino Frances from Barcelona?
Has anyone had any experience of getting to Leon from the airport? Rome2Rio seems to make it very complicated - either the train, which means we have a 5 hour wait to catch it or a weird combination of train and bus, which is 2 hours longer. Is it too early to get accurate information - the...
We are leaving tomorrow to walk to Finisterre but have been told that there will be a bus strike 8 to 11 May which means there is no means of getting back to Santiago on the 10th. A taxi will be too expensive, given our South African/euro exchange rate . We are quite devastated and now...
Does anyone have any information about the bus strike in Spain or Galicia from 8 to 11 May? We were told about it when we tried to book bus tickets from Finisterre.
Can someone who has walked the shortened version of Day 1 by cutting across on the N-536 just after Santalla Del Bierzo, to go straight to Borrenes so as to avoid the loop to Villavieja, comment on it please?. I see that it saves 3 kms but I have also read somewhere else that it is to be...
Has anyone contact information for Pension Minos in Monforte de Lemos? I only have a telephone number and its difficult phoning from South Africa. Alternatively, any other recommendations for a pension or hostel there.
I am walking part of the Invierno with friends who have time constraints. Due to our advanced years we could struggle with the 33 kms in one day If we took a taxi for about 10 kms, are there any suggestions as to which section we could miss or which section we should definitely not miss?
All the lists of albergues seem to be somewhat outdated and much has probably changed since Covid. Which website has the most up-to-date information? The information on Gronze is quite comprehensive but I wonder how current it is. Also, has anyone ever compiled a list of donativo albergues...
I am walking the Camino Madrid with a friend. We finish at Leon and had planned to take a bus to Ferrol to walk the Camino Ingles and we have allocated 6 days for this (5 days walking and 1 day travelling to get there.
I am, however, getting cold feet about the Ingles when I read up about the...
This has most likely been covered already but I cant find it. I see from Sara's vlog that she walked to Tres Cantos then caught the train back to Madrid because all other accommodation is too expensive. Johnnie Walker says that there is an albergue there but you have to be out by 6 am...
