    4 Days Camino de Santiago: PLAN?

    Thanks, will look at this. FYI, we really need basic information as our "technical" skills are lacking. For example, a map showing our start point is welcome. Yes, a note giving us a good idea of what we can do in four days; we would like to cross into Spain after so many days. etc.etc.

    4 Days Camino de Santiago: PLAN?

    We already walked 117Km of Camino deSantiago from Sarria to end in 3 days (75 miles, tough)! Now this year we will start at the very beginning of this holy pilgramge -- is that from St John in France? Heard this part of France is stunning. We will fly to Paris from either Dublin or Glasgow and...

    100Km in 3 days: logistics?

    My wife and I are planning 114KM in 3 days: Sarria to Portomarin to Palas deRei to Arzana to Monte Del Gozo to final destination: Santiago deCompostela. We both hike, swim, run mini marathons and feel this can be done. Is this overly ambitious or not? Perhaps we should shorten and take our...

    Backpack and Airline Requirements!?

    I presume we should travel with a backpack on our 100K pilgrimage from Sarria to Santiago deCompstela? However, we are picking up a flight at the end on Ryanair -- I guess from some nearby airport -- to take us to Dublin. If the backpacks are oversized Ryanair will demand all our $$$. Is there...

    Madrid to Sarria (or St Jean Pied de Port)-to Ireland!

    Best way to get from Madrid in July to Sarria (or else St Jean Pied de Port) --train? drive? fly? We're walking the 100k+ to Santiago from one of these starting points. Does this make sense -- we're heard this route was a must. Perhaps an alternative route makes more sense. Our goal is to catch...

    US-Ireland-Spain Gathering

    Thank you Justin and others out there- I might have to start from Madrid since I am flying in from US, visiting family early July in Madrid and then we're off to do the Way. I was told we could take the train from Madrid to pick up a starting point in Northern Spain. That's got to be a several...

    US-Ireland-Spain Gathering

    Where can we store extra baggage for the days we're on the Way? I'd thinking we might need to get creative -- have a courier transport them to the hotel we might stay at when we reach the end of our pilgrimage. We're planning four days and have never done this before though we are seasoned hikers!
