    New Camino documentary

    I have been following her on FB for the past few years & am going to the film tonight--very excited to see the finished product. So my suggestion would be to go if you possibly can do so.

    Traveling in groups

    I walked from Astorga in 2010 & after getting terrible blisters, I decided to send part of my luggage by taxi every day so I had to call ahead to the private albergues to assure that I would have a place. I had no problem making reservations one day in advance & I am sure you can do so if you...

    Hiking for two weeks - best place to start

    I started in Astorga (wanted to see the Gaudi palace there) & it took me exactly 14 days to Santiago. I decided that 20 kms/day was the right amount for me & the one day I walked 30 kms was too much & I started to get tendinitis. Try to determine what you can do comfortably (e.g., without...

    What is the one Albergue that you would say not to miss

    My favorite albergue was one in Ruitelan called Pequeña Portala which was run by Buddhists, served a fantastic shared meal (for me: pesto pasta!) & awakens everyone at 6:00am with beautiful, loud music beginning with "Ave Maria" and then is followed by an actual breakfast!

    Astorga to Santiago

    I am doing exactly the same thing & was going to take the bus from Santiago, but would need to wait until the evening bus, arriving in Astorga around 2 in the morning (which did not feel entirely safe to me) so I have decided to stay a night in Santiago & then take the train the next day...

    bus to astorga

    I need to know how close/far the airport in Santiago is from the bus station. I need to buy a ticket for the bus to Astorga, but don't know if it is reasonable that I could catch a bus that leaves 50 minutes after my flight arrives or must I wait until the night bus (leaving me to arrive in...

    Credencial in Astorga?

    I will be starting in Astorga on Sept. 7th & want to know where I can get a compostela? I won't be arriving until late the night before, so I will need to get one when I first begin walking. Any info would be helpful. Dusty from Austin Subject corrected by moderator

    Astorga

    I originally was going to start in Cebreiro, but now I am thinking that I would like to walk further, so I am planning on starting in Astorga around Sept 7th. If anyone has information on getting here from Santiago, a recommendation for a hotel where I can make a reservation for the first night...
