- Ourense to Santiago, August 2017
Hi, we're looking forward to our first camino stage, Ourense to Santiago in August (two adults and 14 year old son).
We have used a third party to book accommodation and to arrange luggage transfers.
The second day (Cea to Lalin) was due to be shortened by a transfer to Oseira Monastery, before walking on to Lalin. This would knock 10km approximately from the days walk. However the agent we used have now advised that this will mean we will not receive our Compostela on reaching Santiago, as the total walk will be only 99km.
I don't have a major problem with this but it will make for a 37km walking day, which feels like quite a lot in one day.
Has anybody walked this stage before? Is it well signposted? We do not have a GPS or small scale maps (are we likely to need one?)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jason.
