I for one was not impressed with the sunset at Finisterre. As you say, you see beautiful sunsets all the time but going to Finisterre only fulfilled my desire to see what it is all about and also the end of the Camino. I went there by bus after I completed my Camino Frances in Santiago, but...
I’m starting my Camino Frances on 26aug from SJPP. I am today traveling to SJPP. Can someone advise me how I might be able to download one of the free apps that can be used offline. I will be getting my SIM in ZUBIRI or Pamplona. Tks for your assistance. I have the apps but would like to...
Thanking each and everyone of you for your valuable suggestions. I ended booking a bus ticket from Santiago to Madrid through Omio. It cost me Euro 54.88. I will just need to find how to get to the ALSA bus station which should hopefully not be a problem. Bueon Camino for all those on the...
Not able to get a ticket. I see on some of the responses now that I may have to do it just about 3 wks in advance. The booking is to arrive Madrid 3rd Oct
Thanks for that piece of info. If tickets are available just 2-3 weeks in advance then that probably explains why I cannot get a ticket. If that is so, then I will have to do my booking while on my camino.
t the end of my Camino I will need to travel to Madrid for my flight back home to Toronto and I have yet not finalized my return from Santiago to Madrid. Trying to get a train ticket is near impossible and the flight is very early morning. Can any of you offer suggestions on the best way to...
Sorry I missed it somewhere as I thought you already travelled home. I guess you are somewhere en route along your Camino. I am starting my Camino from SJPP next week. Bueon Camino and hope all goes well with you. Hopefully someone may be able to respond with some positive news. Do post how...
Hi Luca
Hope you a arrived home safe. Could you please share your experience with me as I have an early morning Ryan air flight as well at 6:45 am from Santiago to Madrid. Can you please tell me how many hours before you had to arrive and what was the cost of the taxi from Santiago de...
I will be starting my Camino in two weeks from SJPP to Santiago de Compostela. I arrive Paris from Toronto and make my way to SJPP. Where is the best place to buy my SIM card for the 6 weeks I will be on trail? Is a SIM
Card bought in France useable once I cross over into Spain? Will...
Thank you very much. I am in the learning process and so I am anxious. Yes, the two you mention are listed on the book. I researched those two and I guess those are private hotels and therefore cost more too in comparison to other lodgings. I still have them available for my dates and may...
Thank you very much for your post which actually has got me worried, although for a valid, good, reason. In John Brierley's book he talks of two private accommodations in Orrison. Is it these you are referring to or are there other ones too there? Since you have done this before, what is the...
