      Vacajoe replied to the thread How to go to Finisterre?.
      Bus leaves from the main bus/train terminal. Depending on the season and how crowded it is, you can buy your ticket ahead of time or from a window there - I’d advise an advance purchase of a roundtrip ticket! MONBUS operates the route. It’s a...

      Vacajoe replied to the thread Norte and Primitivo 2025.
      So you’ll still be competing with vacationers and surfers while walking on some parts of the Norte in September, which means low cost accommodations can fill up early. If so, you’ll be paying higher-than-expected accommodation costs because it’s...

      It’ll be colder, but not to the point that you couldn’t do it. Some albergues may not be open, but you can work that out later. I usually walk in April and love it because the locals aren’t worn down by the previous months of overwhelming...

      It’s your life and you can do what you like. I think it’s odd to continually walk a path that is literally to a place that you don’t visit, but you do you. For me, I like to visit key places in cities I visit, religious or secular.

      I did attend Mass in 2012. In a sense of search? I do visit that beautiful building every time I’m in Santiago but that’s to pay my respects to himself. I’ve wondered now and again what that humble(ish) Galilean might make of his modern glories...
