How many bites is typical?
My bedbug bites from Santiago this summer only showed up 5 days later and some kept showing for 4 more days. Delayed reactions are possible if you are a person who isn't allergic to anything in general. I'd suggest taking all the possible precautions, looking for any bedbug signs in your bedroom...- L B

Starting in Lourdes - Aragonés or Piemont?
Aragones for sure. I lived in Aragon for a while and walked many parts of it - it is absolutely stunning. If you do decide to walk it, take the route through San Juan de la Peña, it is the most impressive monument I had ever seen and the views are amazing, the extra kms are worth it!- L B

Descent to Cee
From what I have read it is a very steep descent, I walk without poles so I'm worried and maybe even considering taking a taxi and somehow skipping it but I'm not willing to give up more than 5km to a taxi ride, is there a cafe or something right before that descent? And to those who have done...- L B

Luggage storage
Daypack (which will be my main one because the walk is so short) is coming with me, but the fancy backpack-that-will-hurt-your-back-if-you-walk-10km-with-it & large travel/hiking backpack go into storage. :D- L B

Luggage storage
As KinkyOne said, yes. If you walk through Fisterra and go the 100+kms with 2 stamps a day, you can get the compostela. Why not leave the things with Ivar? Well, it would cost me 45 euros (big bag+small bag) which seems a bit much for much for only 7 days so I'm looking for alternatives.- L B

Luggage storage
So I'm only doing SdC-Fisterre-Muxia because I didn't have the time last time, I have planned to do it in about 7 days including all the extra days for just relaxing in Muxia. Since my stay on the camino will be so short, I don't think that bringing my bags (One hiking backpack + a small...- L B

10 days without sleeping bag or liner?
So unexpectedly I now have 10 spare days between my Europe travels at the beginning of September. I travel only with hand luggage (aka the trusty 40L hiking backpack) and I absolutely do not have space for a sleeping bag or liner which I would have no use for outside of the camino; however, the...- L B

Reusing my cedential
I walked from Burgos last year to Santiago but now I feel like I'd like to return and finish my walk to Finisterre and Muxia. I still have quite a bit of space in my credential and I'd love to keep using it from Santiago onwards when I continue my walk, and it'd be nice to have all my stamps...- L B

English speaking doctor in Bilbao
Yesterday I had a really sore throat so I went to the farmacy to get some pills. I guess they aren't working on me, I just woke up with a closed throat unable to swallow anything so I guess it's time for some antibiotics. Does anyone know an English speaking doctor in Bilbao?- L B

Alsa bus platform in Santiago Bus Station
I just got a ticket for the way back from my first try on the camino but I only just realized that I have no idea from which platform it leaves, sadly it's so early that the information place wont be open yet. So I'm wondering: Does Alsa usually leave from a concrete platform? Is there a way I...- L B

A couple of first camino fears: WWYD?
Thanks for all the information. :) I just made a reservation and now I can feel somewhat calm about this. This question is not really on the same theme with the topic when I posted it but in case someone still peeks in here and could comment on this - would it be too weird to not take a...- L B

A couple of first camino fears: WWYD?
Thank you everyone for the help! I'll get dropped off somewhere around midday and there are some last busses going after that but looks like I will only be in Sarria past 9 in the evening so I'll have to make a reservation somewhere. I was also if there is anything I should know about the bus...- L B

A couple of first camino fears: WWYD?
I'm supposed to start my first steps on the camino this weekend but suddenly I'm terrified so I'd like to hear some advice - what would you do? This time around I'd only like to walk from Sarria to Santjago de Compostela because I feel like a shorter distance with more people would make me feel...- L B
