Hi all,
Doing our first Camino this Sept. and decided to do only the last 100 KM because of time constraints and wanting to do some other vacation. We are spending 3 nights in Porto at the beginning and then taking the train to Vigo to start our walk.
My hotels are all booked using Booking dot com - with the option for FREE cancellation or changes up until a couple days before. I have used this site many times and have no complaints. We are using a luggage transfer service that was 66 Euros for transport to each different hotel. 1 bag each - up to 20KG - bags need to be out for collection at 8 AM and should be at your next destination by 2 PM
We are in our 60's but travel frequently and no apologies - but we really don't like roughing it so 3 star hotels seem to be the best option for us.
here is our plan - for the walking days
Day 1 - depart Vigo to Redondela - ( 15K )
Day 2 - depart Redondela to Pontevedra - (20K)
Day 3 - stay in Pontevedra
Day 4 - depart Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis - (22K)
Day 5 - depart Caldas de Reis to Padron - (18K)
Day 6 - depart Padron to Santiago - (25K)
we will spend 2 nights in Santiago and then back to Porto for 1 night - and fly home (Toronto) from there.
anyway - just some ideas for anyone interested - since this is our first Camino - I’m no expert but I am a pretty good planner.
Buen Camino all
