    Place to stay in Porto

    Last September, we stayed in the Best Guest Porto Hostel - it is literally only minutes from your camino start at the Cathedral - you just walk up the hill. We took the Senda Litoral route from the cathedral out of Porto and just made our way down to the water from there. Perfect location for...

    Unable to get Finisterre certificate

    The reception at the Finisterre Municipal Albergue was open two days ago on Oct 13th. Many pilgrims in line were getting their Finisterre certificate - it appeared that some were checking in plus getting their certificate - not all were staying there. We actually stood in line just to ask a...

    Unable to get Finisterre certificate

    Yesterday, this notice was on the Finisterre Tourist Information office. There was a second note that said the Finisterre certificate could also be obtained at the Municipal Albergue down the street - that in fact was true as we saw pilgrims obtaining them there. Four years ago, I obtained the...

    Air Flight Santiago to Madrid

    Thanks all for your responses! Rynair has a late evening flight to Madrid in early November on a Friday - we think we would prefer the evening flight(even though it's late) over the very early morning flight - as we can check into a pre-booked hotel on arrival and sleep in if we wish, before...

    Air Flight Santiago to Madrid

    I am contemplating booking a budget flight back to Madrid after walking Camino Francis. I see information about taking trains and buses, but nothing about flights, which seem to be very affordable and efficient time-wise. However, after reading some reviews of one of the budget airlines, I have...
