    Camio Ingles: starting in Ferrol on May 19

    Hi, Stephen. This makes two of us who might be limping. Last time, on the Camino Primitivo, I had tendinitis on both Achilles tendons, which made it really awkward to continue... but I did not give up. Hope to meet you on the Camino. Buen Camino.

    Camio Ingles: starting in Ferrol on May 19

    Thanks! Mmh... you are right, it may be safer to stay over night in Santiago, though it feels a bit odd to stay overnight at the destination of the Camino. Well, let me think about it... :-)

    Camio Ingles: starting in Ferrol on May 19

    Thanks for your responses. They are helpful! I tried to search the monbus search but it seems not to work, but this may be due to my browser. Will follow your advise to take a taxi from the airport in Santiago to the bus station and hope to get the last bus to Ferrol... :-) Alex

    Camio Ingles: starting in Ferrol on May 19

    My Ryanair flight arrives in Santiago on May 18 at 7:30 PM. If possible, I would like to take the bus to Ferrol on the same day to start the Camino the following day, but I could not find the bus schedule online. Does someone know how to get to Ferrol by bus or otherwise? Alex

    Primitivo Albergues

    I stayed at the beginning of May in the private Albergue in Ponte Ferreira and was not impressed. 10 Euro for staying there seems justified as it is a really nice albergue. However, the rest seems overprized, e.g. beers and wines. The 10 Euro for dinner was a rip off, at least when we stayed...

    early or late May 2012 on the Camino Primitivo

    Well, thinking for some time, I made up my mind: depite concerns about the weather, I will start in Oviedo on May 23. With the right equipment, the weather should not be problem... :-) Again, thanks for your responses. Alex

    early or late May 2012 on the Camino Primitivo

    Thanks for all your replies. It made me think about the timing... perhaps even the end of May would not really be a time that I enjoy... the weather may be unpredictable and even wet and cold... perhaps I choose a different 2 weeks route... Last year, I did the Camino Portugues from Porto...

    early or late May 2012 on the Camino Primitivo

    Thanks, Laurie! Your response helped me to make up my mind. I will go for the later date and start in Oviedo on May 23. According to other postings in this forum, the weather may still be unpredictable but, well, hopefully no snow or too much much mud. Cheers, Alex

    early or late May 2012 on the Camino Primitivo

    I am thinking of doing the Camino from Oviedo to Santiago either at the beginning of May (5th to 20th) or at the end of May (22nd to June 6) but want to consider the weather before deciding. I am aware that May weather is unpredictable and guess that it is more predictable and dryer at the end...

    Porto to Santiago - May 27 to June 7

    Would be nice if we meet each other along the way... I also stay over night in Porto and plan to leave the following day... The pension where I am staying is close to Sao Bento station... just send me a note to my e-mail address when you know your plans... rodlach@creighton.edu. Alex

    Porto to Santiago - May 27 to June 7

    Thanks! Most probably, I will pass by the Cathedral in the morning but then, following your advice, start moving without the stamp if none is there... fortunately, I already have the credencial... Alex

    Porto to Santiago - May 27 to June 7

    Thanks! Good to know that the maps in the metro are clear and that it is wise to carry some change...

    Porto to Santiago - May 27 to June 7

    Jeff, I was not aware that most hotels and many bars and restaurants have the stamps too... thanks for this information... will ask at the hotel... Caminando, good idea to wait till the Cathedral opens... it is nice to have the Cathedral stamp... fortunately, my hotel has Internet (hopefully it...
