    Delays at Santiago airport?

    It went fine. No problems whatsoever. I tend to arrive at airports early anyway, so it was no great hardship to get there even a little earlier than I ordinarily would. I would always rather have more time than I need rather than less. In an airport, boredom is a luxury! As it happens, I have...

    Delays at Santiago airport?

    Hi there, I’m flying out from Santiago to Stansted tomorrow morning at around 11am, and received an email earlier today advising me to get to the airport 3 hours pre-departure “in case of security delays”. I noticed media reports of airport delays over here while on my Camino, but I kinda...

    Pre-booking train/bus from Madrid to Leon mid-April?

    Hello all, I will be flying from Ireland to Madrid on Saturday, April 16, with a view towards starting walking from Leon the next day. My flight is due to land around 10am and as best as I can tell, my best bet in terms of getting to Leon is to get the train from T4 into Moncloa train station...

    Transportation options from Madrid airport to Sahagun for Camino de Santiago

    Great suggestion, but Madrid is the only practical option for flying out on the day I want to travel. I could fly to Bilbao that day, but I wouldn't arrive until very late in the afternoon, which whereas I get to Madrid in the morning. As I said in my initial post, there does appear to be a...

    Transportation options from Madrid airport to Sahagun for Camino de Santiago

    Always a sound plan, but I really want to maximise my walking window, if at all possible. I flew into Madrid in 2016 for the Primitivo and overnighted, but I had a little more time that year.

    Transportation options from Madrid airport to Sahagun for Camino de Santiago

    Yeah, I see why you'd say that, but my schedule is pretty tight. I want to get 14 walking days in, and that means getting to Sahagun on the day I arrive and then getting started the next day... hopefully!

    Transportation options from Madrid airport to Sahagun for Camino de Santiago

    Hi all, I'm hoping to walk from Sahagun to Santiago and on to the coast in the second half of April, picking up my most recent Camino from where I left off in 2019. I haven't booked anything yet, but I'm planning to fly from Dublin to Madrid on the morning of Saturday, April 16, get to...

    Santiago to Cork via Stansted - have I made a mistake?

    Thanks for all the answers above. I’m probably worrying about nothing!

    Santiago to Cork via Stansted - have I made a mistake?

    There is another flight to Cork later that day. In my more neurotic moments I’ve considered booking it as an insurance policy!

    Santiago to Cork via Stansted - have I made a mistake?

    I’ve thought about that, but I’m one of those people who travel heavy... as opposed to light!

    Santiago to Cork via Stansted - have I made a mistake?

    Alas, I can be a worrier. Walking the Camino hasn’t cured me of that, but it’s helped me come to accept that part of my nature!

    Santiago to Cork via Stansted - have I made a mistake?

    Hi all, I’ll be heading out to the Camino for a couple of weeks in the early summer and on the way home have booked a connecting flight from Stansted. Basically, I’ll be flying from Santiago to Stansted and on from there to my home in Cork, Ireland. Now that I’ve booked the flights, I’m...

    Zariquiegui Accommodation

    Hello all, Rather than start another thread, I said I would attempt to revive this one. I’m just wondering what the situation is now vis-a-vis albergues in Zariquiegui. I’ve been seeing mixed/contradictory information online. Is it two or just one operating there at the moment? Thanks in...

    Pamplona just after San Fermin

    Hello all, I will be walking part of the Camino Frances with some friends this coming July, and we will most likely arrive in Pamplona a couple of days after the end of San Fermin. I know accommodation is very difficult to come by during the festival, but I'm wondering if things get back to...

    Looking for a rucksack rain cover in Santiago?

    Hello all, As the subject line suggests, I’m in Santiago and looking to buy a new rain cover for my rucksack. I’m starting the walk to the coast tomorrow, my current cover won’t stay on anymore, and the weather forecast isn’t good! So, does anyone have any suggestions on where I might be...

    Distance from A Roxica to Salceda?

    Thanks, Peter. I guess that makes my decision for me. Sobrado dos Monxes it’ll be. Even at the death, the Norte still finds a way to twist the knife! ;-)

    Distance from A Roxica to Salceda?

    Hello all, I’m currently in Abadin, and planning ahead for the next few days. I have reserved a place in Salceda for Wednesday night, so my focus is splitting the distance between here and there. I was initially assuming Baamonde (39km), then Sobrado dos Monxes (40km), and then Salceda (31km)...

    Where to stay in Gijon?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Ended up booking La Polar. Pilgrim discount and they claim to be on the path. I guess I’ll find out later!
