Hi everyone,
I'm flying to Santiago next Saturday and was planning to take a bus out to Sarria, sleep at a hostel and start walking on Sunday until I return to Santiago. I have never done anything like this before so I am following most of the advice I've read online.
Here is the route I plan on following: Sarria - Portomarin - Palas de Rei - Arzua - Rua-O-Pino -Santiago
Here are a couple of questions I still have, I would be grateful if you have any advice/comments:
1. Should I pre-book hostels? I know it's winter and some hostels will be open, should I plan in advance, or just find something every day upon my arrival?
2. I plan on bringing very few things, among them a sleeping bag and thermal clothing & jackets, is there anything that I should bring that I may not have considered?
3. Getting to Sarria: I read online about 2 busses that will get me all the way there, are there other options you may know about that I hadn't considered?
Thank you in advance
Juliette
