I will arrive to Villafranca on 31 December and begin the Camino the next day. I will have a backpack but also a suitcase. I want to send the suitcase to Santiago where I will collect it on 8 January. I've already reached out to two companies (Jacotrans and Camino Ways) but they cannot provide...
Here is a hypothetical situation: Will I still receive a Compostela if I do the Inglés over two weekends? For example, a Saturday and Sunday one weekend and then Friday-Monday the following weekend? Do you have to complete a continuous 100 km to qualify for the Compostela?

I would love to stay here but I am interested in a few details. What time is the special mass? How many KM is the following day to Santiago? I need to be there by 2pm to pick up something of mine. Also, I would love to make the noon mass at the Santiago cathedral but I am not sure if it is...

I've walked the Norte (via Ribadeo) and the Francés...
Hola!
I searched for information but could not find anything useful. I am contemplating doing the Camino del Norte or a variation next spring. I assume crowds wouldn't be any problem. What about the weather? I don't mind a little rain or clouds. My current time frame is to start at the...
