Just follow the LU 633 road out of Samos ( there is a dedicated walk way safe from traffic) after 3kms you will see the Meson Pontenova bar/restaurant over on the right hand side of the road. Follow the Camino sign and cross over VERY carefully and be mindful of traffic as it’s a busy bend in...

Very well said my friend. Thank you for putting so succinctly into words what has been troubling me deeply.
I was beginning to despair reading about people wanting to fulfil their OWN desire to walk the Camino again while seemingly completely disregarding the feelings of the local folks who...
