    Feast Day Mass

    my understanding is that the general public is allowed to attend the High Mass on the 25th. However, as there will be a gazillion dignitaries, usually the King and his entourage, definitely the President of Galicia and the Mayor, and their entourages, and etc etc. you may have to stand in line...

    Pilgrimage or vacation?

    if a Camino is walked within one's vacation days of their paid work, it may indeed be a vacation (and a pilgrimage).

    La Tuna in Santiago

    I'm sure this info has already been shared, but here's an update: the Tuna are still working their magic under the arches in the Praza Obradoiro (facing the catehdral) in the evenings. I was there two nights ago. I'm guessing as of 10pm onwards. They are always good fun for a sing along and a...

    Sending suitcase to Santiago from Vigo

    most transport companies will collect and take directly to santiago. use casa ivar in santiago for storage. Buen Camino

    Unfortunate, but true...

    probably the best section to skip, entering and leaving león (end of the Meseta and the Páramo) can be tedious. i would make a pit stop n león though, at least a morning.

    CF in July

    the usual: up before dawn, stop walking by lunchtime or avoid walking between lunch and evening. keep hydrated. wear a hat. stop if you're not feeling well, no shame in that. my first Camino was in august and we survived, and it was fun. it was also very hot.

    Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?

    actually a combination of heat, dehydration and stupidity on my part. but i like the idea of it being frivolous. there really is no dangerous stage along the Camino apart from our lack of preparation, awareness and bad judgement on a particular stage.

    How many stamps?

    Then I guess they follow the rules if they want the Compostela, or get a second or third credential if they run out of space. Or don't care about the Compostela and do what they want. In my case, as I am not usually walking into Santiago, or staying at public albergues, I stamp when and where...

    How many stamps?

    if you want to request your Compostela, it's compulsory two per day/last 100 kms. before that, one a day is enough, usually where you sleep (i guess).
