    Pilgrim Meals in Parador in Santiago

    I must have been lucky then. Both the staff and the company were very nice; the latter exceptionally so. We had a great time, despite the language problem. The German and French guy were good English speakers, the Korean and Spaniard not at all, myself - when I try 🤣🤣🤣.

    I agree with Natefaith. I would add, however, that depending on your flight arrival, there are several buses each day from Porto Airport direct to SdC. Check ALSA App or ALSA website. Tickets can bought online (printed, and/or stored on 'phone App) Bus Stop at the Airport is the last to the...
