    Where does the bus stop in Samos, to Sarria?

    Ok, I clicked on all the little bus icons in Google Maps and found the button for each that says Show Departure Board. I only found ONE busstop that shows the 4pm to Santiago. That's the stop "Samos (Albergue)". It's showing bus 802005 which jives with the Monbus schedule number. I will...

    Where does the bus stop in Samos, to Sarria?

    Oh gosh, thank you both! I should have also written that I will be concluding my walk in Samos (starting in Astorga) and taking the bus from Samos to Santiago.

    Where does the bus stop in Samos, to Sarria?

    I'm walking from Triacastela to Samos, which will only be about a 10km walk. It looks like Monbus passes through Samos at about 4 pm.

    Disappointing Experience at Hospedería San Martín Pinario

    I received a reply - no WhatsApp, only via email or call. I guess I can call through WhatsApp, right? (I haven't made an international call through WhatsApp before).

    Disappointing Experience at Hospedería San Martín Pinario

    I received a room quote by email (very fast response!) They are asking for a credit card number to confirm - is there another way to securely send this info rather than by email?

    Is O Cebreiro - SdC in 8 days doable?

    Thank you for the links! And thank you Walker for your insights about training and suggestion of flying different route home. Not going back to Madrid means I could take a bit more time on the trail.

    Is O Cebreiro - SdC in 8 days doable?

    Hi! I'm planning my Camino for around May 2024 and I only have about 2 weeks off of work. Flying from a US city-MAD. I was thinking of bookending my journey with 2 days in Madrid at the beginning and also 2 days afterward before my flight home. One or two nights in Santiago after my walk. 1...
