    Sections of Camino Frances

    I had to think about whether to respond to this but in the end I decided I did not want you to be sad. Our pilgrimage was what I needed. I was just recovering from cancer and grieving the loss of my husband of 40 years. (Still am.) We walked and talked with others along the way, but also...

    Sections of Camino Frances

    I am looking at possible short sections of the Camino Frances. The two sections I am studying right now on Wise Pilgrim are Pamplona to Burgos and Leon to Sarria. I’d love to hear peoples opinions if you think one is more interesting than the other or if services are better in one section or the...

    I could not even find the stamp at the Cathedral although I know it was there somewhere.... Was glad I ordered my credential from IVAR.

    Hotel Rias Bajas in Pontevedra

    We loved it. We took the offer of the inexpensive upgrade on Booking.com and got an extra sitting room with a balcony. It was terrific. Breakfast good.

    Do they have this in Spain?

    It is a pad not an ointment. Should have bought more!

    Do they have this in Spain?

    We find this item really useful. Have not found it here in Spain yet. Is there an equivalent. The farmacies keep suggesting Compeed but I heard its not for open sores. Suggestions of what we can ask for?

    Mothers day question

    There was a post on another forum that tomorrow is Mothers Day and we should be aware that restaurants will be busy. Does anyone know…is it lunch or dinner? Are there times to avoid? We have flexibility when we eat so we are not part of the celebrations. Thanks!

    Midway point with Sellos between Vigo and Redondola

    We are starting in Vigo at the Church of Santa Maria. For a number of reasons, we will not make it all the way to Redondola the first day, so will split the stage. We know that there is the Cafe at Cabanas- O Eido Vello. Are there any other good halfway spots we can head for, where we can get a...

    Event calendar

    I came up dry. Can you share what you googled? When I did Events and May, I just got a whole lot of Camino trip advertisements.

    Event calendar

    I just had a hotel reservation cancelled, and am having difficulty finding options for my dates. So many places I have contacted are already booked- for May! My question is- is there a regional events calendar for Vigo-Santiago- something like Galicia events? Something to help figure out if I...

    No transport directly to o Porrino?

    I have been basing my travel plans from Santiago to O Porrino based on Rome 2 Rio as is often recommended, but today when i checked the Renfe and Alsa sites it appears that Rome2Rio was misleading me and there is nothing direct. It appears I need to get to Vigo and then switch to local bus to...

    Last 100 km

    See photo I posted. Is there a reason you say Tui and not O Porrino?

    Last 100 km

    Just found this…so looks like O Porrino is ok to start rather than Tui. Thank you folks for being nonjudgmental. My friend only has minimum time.
