    How to get from center of Santiago to airport by bus?

    the bus stop is easy to find - just walk down from the little green park space (Plaza Galicia) until you pass Rua de Gomez Ulla forking off to the left. It's the first bus stop after that.

    Delays at Santiago airport?

    The delays (that I have read of) are mainly due to volumes of British travellers who now have to go through non EU security pathways in airports. I'd hedge your bets if I were you and aim for 2.5hrs pre flight :)

    Water Discussion (I thought you might like a laugh)

    snap! I am still using one of those blue Spanish water bottles now, from my last Camino walk in 2019. Very sturdy indeed and it gets used on a weekly basis...
