    Trouble finding a bed on the Norte

    I've just booked flights starting from Santander on the 20 September. Would the advice be to book ahead. Don't really want to but is it necessary?

    Now that the creation of Compostelas is automated, is there a box or comment section to request Vicarie Pro?

    Sleeping bag needed in June?
