Mazzarina, thank you! You pr8ovided the kind of information I hoped to get about this Camino. I'll be in the UK and Ireland for about six weeks this Fall and Winter and I hope to walk St Michael's Way and perhaps others. I very much appreciate your kind help.
Hello, everyone. I will be back in the UK late Fall and I've read about the St Michael's Way in Cornwall. It's a short 21 km walk but it sounds beautiful. I walked the Ingles as a pilgrimage in memory of my late wife last October. I've read the St Michael's Way was where English pilgrims on...
Thank you for your kind words. The euros are just a backup for the credit card but I feel better having some for contingencies. I'm enjoying Ferrol very much. It's a beautiful and very interesting city. A late dinner at a sidewalk cafe last night was a real delight.

Thanks very much, Kirkie. For several personal reasons, this past year has been very rough and I'm looking forward to this Camino. To steal your words, I'm certainly not at present the most energetic of people but I do plan to physically prepare for this.
You made a good point - I'll try to book the overnight stays in advance on my own. I think the several comments on this forum have led me to decide to skip using the agency. I suspect I'm going to want to stretch the walk out a bit more than they seem to allow. Thank you for your kind help.
