    In need of opinions regarding extending my flight

    Thank you for the reply! That is a good option. I hate that airfare is so expensive. Another option is just to go to Spain on the 6th and see how things go. If I REALLY don't want to leave on the 16th the $600 might be worth it. It's hard to make those decisions in advance. Perhaps if I ever do...

    In need of opinions regarding extending my flight

    Hello, I am leaving for Santiago on July 6 and my return flight to Florida is on July 16. I'm planning on walking from Sarria to Santiago. I have plenty of time for that. But, I keep going back and forth on whether I should extend my flight to give me enough time to continue to Finisterre. I...

    Bus from Santiago airport to Sarria

    Hi everyone, I'm walking from Sarria to Santiago in July. I'm trying to get an idea of how I will get from the airport in Santiago to my hotel in Sarria (I'm staying in a hotel for a night after I arrive and beginning the walk the following day). Does anyone have any information on bus...

    Worried about walking alone

    I'm walking by myself in the beginning of July as well. I have the same thoughts as you do. I'm telling you this so you know you are not alone in how you feel. Reading your post makes me feel better because it lets me know that there is at least one other woman in the same boat. I heard a quote...

    recommendation for carry-on size hiking backpack

    Good morning! I'm looking for some recommendations for a reasonably priced hiking backpack that is small enough to allow as a carry-0n on an airplane. I want to avoid checking any bags as I head over to Spain to start my Camino. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

    Warning: Improper behavior reported between Astorga and Rabanal

    I'd be interested in that. I'm beginning in Sarria on July 8th on my own. I'm not sharing the recent information with my immediate family because I don't want to cause my mom any more worry than she already has related to me traveling alone to a different country.

    hotel recommendation in Santiago

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for recommendations for where to stay in Santiago. I may want to reserve a room in advance for the night before my flight leaves to come back home. I'm looking to stay somewhere that is reasonably priced and clean. Thanks!!

    First timer - Sarria to SDC May 2015

    It's nice to red about another solo female traveler around my age! I'm doing the walk from Sarria to Santiago in July. Like you, I researched different tour groups but decided to go it alone. So far I have my plane ticket and first night booked in a private room for $32 a night. Since writing...

    Room at the Inn/Albergue? Should I be booking a bunk in advance?

    I commend you for going alone! I'm walking alone in July but only from Sarria to Santiago. I've never traveled alone so I'm nervous but mostly excited. Hearing about other brave women going at it alone is inspiring!

    walk solo or with a tour group?

    OMG. I just bought my plane ticket! Looks like I'm doing this thing solo. I'm excited but scared. I've never traveled by myself before but figured if there ever was a trip to experience alone this would be it. My family thinks I'm crazy. Thanks again for all the help and advice. I guess I...

    How much time will I need to go from Sarria to Santiago?

    With the help and advice from the lovely folks on this forum, I am ready to book buy flight from Florida to Spain to walk from Sarria to Santiago in July. I'm going to need 3 days for travel. Will 8 walking days be enough? I don't want to rush the trip but I also can't linger too long after due...

    walk solo or with a tour group?

    Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to write such thoughtful and helpful replies! This information helps me out a lot. One thing I know for sure is that I'm doing it this July with or without a group. I'm just waiting for flights to come down a bit in price and then it's a go. I'll...

    walk solo or with a tour group?

    Thank you very much! Enjoy your trip in May!

    walk solo or with a tour group?

    Thanks for the reply! One more question…could you potentially be in a situation where you pass up a place to stay because you want to walk more and then realize the next place is miles and miles away? Or, are there many albergues, making it easy to find a place to rest for the night?
