Allan, the turn I missed was a left, right after crossing a main road then only going about 20 meters and looking for a house with the number 36(?) on it. The number was partially scratched off, there was a brass tile in the road but one would have already made the turn to see it and as I...
I agree about Meson do Novo, I stayed there 2 nights and the whole family treated me like a King. It's definately worth a stop on this route and the rooms are very nice.
I didn't have trouble with the waymarking either, I had read somewhere that the rays did point in the correct direction. The...
Well...I was planning on doing the Ingles, but if Sangria is more popular in the south I might have to change my plans.
Of course I could bring my own.
Does anybody know how much a good box of Sangria weighs?
I thought Spain was the birthplace of Sangria, but I see no mention of it.
I was counting on getting my daily requirements of fruit by drinking it but am I to be dissapointed as well as malnourished by not finding it available? What am I to do?

I wasn't planning on staying in Madrid when I arrive but going there afterwards. Maybe when I do arrive I'll go to a hotel and arrange to leave a suitcase and then...
Does anybody know if the Madrid airport has lockers to rent to leave luggage.
I know I can forward luggage to Santiago but my traveling plans center around Madrid.
Thanks for the help

JW,
Thanks for the offer of the guide, I've got your 2011 guide so should I get an update or should you just pass along your phone number in case I get lost!
I do appreciate all of your input and information and thusly holding you responsible for my decision to do this (not too much pressure...
Hey Al,
Nice to hear another crazy old wind doing this.
I'm planning on starting in Ferol on Sept. 5. Not sure how long it's going to take me, so I don't have a schedule, just going to take my time and slog along. I want to go to Muxia and then to Finisterre to finish. I live in southwest...
