Hello, I walked this route a few years ago and found it absolutely lovely. There are not too many ups and downs, and people are so friendly and the food is good. Fresh fish! Its very exciting crossing the boarder into Spain, and lots of amazing food.
Thank you so much. I remember you from a long time ago when you were also full of good advice! I am looking forward to going out and eating at the bar imperial. X cecilie

Hello,
We are starting our walk on Monday too!! Will you be walking out of the city, or taking the metro out ?

Have a wonderful Camino!
