Hi,

It's been 6 days i've been walking and i think i have to postpone my journey for the future. After walking Molinaseca, my knees are in pain. I took a day off, but it didn't help. I can bearly walk now.

I left Villafranca Del Bierzo in the morning and i'm in La portela de valcarce.

Is there a bus from near Vallafranca del bierzo to Santiago?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

You can try and take the Ponferrada - Santiago bus (Alsa) from Ambasmestas. Otherwise you'll have to return to Villafanca first, take the bus to Ponferrada and then from there directly to Santiago.
Sorry to read of your misfortune :(
 
Hello fraluchi,

Thank you for thr information!

I'm not exactly how Spain's bus system works, but iy looks like Ambasmestas station is at 24520 vega de valcarce, which is where im staying.

I've booked a ticket for tomorrow morning!
