    Train Santiago to Porto

    Ok, thank you; that all makes sense. That perhaps this run is being replaced with a new highspeed run. And I forgot about the time change! Yikes! I ended up booking a bus. I never thought about booking in person though. I think because we are on a schedule to fly out from Lisbon, the idea...

    Train Santiago to Porto

    Yeah, I wondered if it might be too early. That makes sense. After doing all this research, I think I'm going to stick with the bus; shorter and more direct.

    Question about Monastery of Herbón

    Hi, I'm sorry; I responded to this from my ipad last week but don't see the response now. It was just that it's a municipal albergue vs private (municipal have some restrictions). But it sounds like it's not a concern so thank you!

    Train Santiago to Porto

    Hi, we had booked a camino for last September and had to reschedule for this early June. I previously had booked a train from Santiago to Porto to start travel back for our flight home from Lisbon. It included all the transfers. Now I can't find a trip back on any of the train websites that...

    Question about Monastery of Herbón

    Hi, my husband and I want to stay at this monastery but we had to change our plans and are now only able to walk from Tui to Santiago, the minimum to get the Compostela. Does anyone know if this would be an impediment to staying there? Thank you in advance.

    Change of rules on checking in hiking poles at SCQ airport

    Ok, thank you Doug! I appreciate that breakdown. You made me laugh because your comment about noticing shoes reminded me of a woman I once had lunch with (kind of haughty) and she was looking down at my shoes so long she ran into a concrete column and hit her head! lol I think I will go with...

    Change of rules on checking in hiking poles at SCQ airport

    Are you guys all talking about walking sticks or the metal poles? My husband wanted to buy walking sticks in Spain and bring them home. It's good to know we can ship them back via Correo in Santiago. Do most people prefer the metal poles over sticks? I was only going to carry a stick for...

    Questions related to getting your Compostela

    Oh! That never occurred to me! Yes, so a paid pilgrimage group...that makes sense! I will pray that our timing coincides! I've been on several pilgrimages and I know they often have private masses but it's worth a shot! Thanks for the link!
