    Where to go with 2 extra days, near Santiago.

    A Coruña merits at least an overnight, and easy to get to.

    San Anton albergue (Castrojeriz) closes till further notice

    that's too bad, i was there roughly a week ago and the albergue and the ruins were open.

    Compostela

    The church does not, the Pimgrim's Office does, when you request it. To request you must register first https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/sigle-register/ online it's easy, but there is a procedure

    Iberia, by James Michener, a worthy read before, during, or after a camino

    I have recommended the last chapter many times to fellow pilgrims. it literally is a description of the Camino de Santiago.

    Best way from Hondarribia to Santuario Guadeloupe?

    yep, down the street, through the medieval gate and follow the arrows

    Taxi? Can they find us in the middle of nowhere?

    yep, all you need is a bar with a name or at least a reference (eg. church) in a village. you will also need a taxi number to call...

    mostly asphalt (small roads) until you get to Cacabelos. gets really pretty ten.

    Best way from Hondarribia to Santuario Guadeloupe?

    there is only one way, follow the arrows past the church out of town and up the hill. it's steep, but doable. hard part is pushing on once you get there!
  9. jefferyonthecamino

    Bruma - Ingles all full.

    i do not think Santiago expects you to rough it under a tree, go for it!

    Credentials “stamps”

    make sure you stamp at your next albergue/hostel, compulsory are the last 100 km, so for sure you'll have better luck tomorrow and rthe next days. no stamps, no Compostela. albergues should be ok with a stamp from the previous nught as long as it is a walkable distance.

    Where to stay from Tui to Pontevedra

    Arcade/Pontesampaio can be nice, beach nearby, some nice eateries, small and quiet.
  12. jefferyonthecamino

    Where to go after O Porrino?

    definitely Pontevedra. the town itself will keep you entertained for a day or two and there are places to visit nearby.

    Camino Ingles in May

    in may you will (most likely) always see a pilgrim around, either ahead of you or behind you. albergues may even be full. that said, you will also feel a significant difference in the number of pilgrims. reassurance is hard to provide as everyone, and perhaps more so, women, have different...

    Feast Day Mass

    my understanding is that the general public is allowed to attend the High Mass on the 25th. However, as there will be a gazillion dignitaries, usually the King and his entourage, definitely the President of Galicia and the Mayor, and their entourages, and etc etc. you may have to stand in line...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    if a Camino is walked within one's vacation days of their paid work, it may indeed be a vacation (and a pilgrimage).

    Arzua albergues- recommendations

    Hotel 1930 (not an albergue, but worth it).

    La Tuna in Santiago

    I'm sure this info has already been shared, but here's an update: the Tuna are still working their magic under the arches in the Praza Obradoiro (facing the catehdral) in the evenings. I was there two nights ago. I'm guessing as of 10pm onwards. They are always good fun for a sing along and a...

    Train Madrid from Santiago in June 2024?

    schedules don't go up until 6-8 weeks prior. sometimes even 4 weeks.

    Sending suitcase to Santiago from Vigo

    most transport companies will collect and take directly to santiago. use casa ivar in santiago for storage. Buen Camino

    Unfortunate, but true... I need to skip some sections

    probably the best section to skip, entering and leaving león (end of the Meseta and the Páramo) can be tedious. i would make a pit stop n león though, at least a morning.
