    Correos rucksack transport question

    I think they give you a discounted rate for the whole trip, but you are not required to give a scheduled pick up and drop off for everything at once. You can check pricing on their website. https://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/rucksack-transfer

    Correos rucksack transport question

    You can check the Correos drop down list for the places they deliver to and then make a reservation. Then you call Correos and update them on where to deliver the bag by a certain time each evening. They speak English. You also tag your bag and place the destination on the tag. This is in my...

    Backpack?

    First, does the pack fit you well. Have you tried it on? It looks very big. My pack is 42 liters and I carry my clothes medications and a CPAP machine even in the winter when you need warmer clothes and a sleeping bag. Many others who don't need medical devices carry packs 32 liters or so. Can...

    No rooms available mid Sept in Roncesvalles, any suggestions?

    How are you checking? Booking.com will not have all the available rooms. I went to one of the hotel websites directly and there were still rooms available in mid-sept.

    Alternative to Monbus (Samos to Santiago)?

    The train goes to Ourense a d then switch to Santiago. The bus will be cheaper and likely quicker.

    Alternative to Monbus (Samos to Santiago)?

    You can do either. I have done both.

    Alternative to Monbus (Samos to Santiago)?

    I have always found the Monbus service reliable and pleasant. They serve most of this area and all the small towns on the CF.

    post Camino walk...any advice?

    My husband has volunteered at Pueblo Ingles as an English speaker on the spur of the moment (stopped at Ponferada on one Camino to do this). We've also gone to Spanish school a few times. There is a nice one in Santiago called Ira Flavia. He's also gone to one in Madrid.

    post Camino walk...any advice?

    It's hard not to plan it all out into some kind of package. It is fine to have a plan, but don't lock yourself in with prepaid flights and reservations if at all possible. Your plans will likely morph and change as you go along. Maybe you'll hate it and head for a beach vacation in the first...

    From just before Burgos - 47 friggin kms to find a bed!!!

    I don't mind if people don't want to stay with us or even think we are "icky". There are enough pilgrims who want to be there either because of our traditional hospitality or because they need a bed. It is kind of weird to travel overseas to spend my precious vacation time to sleep on a mat on...

    Ride share Taxis or shared rides available to Sarria/Samos from Ourense, Jun 1, 2024

    Cab drivers in these smaller towns are often individuals who own their cab or whose family owns the cab with family members driving at different shifts. You will also see taxi signs with a phone number all along the Camino.

    Ride share Taxis or shared rides available to Sarria/Samos from Ourense, Jun 1, 2024

    There will be a cab stand at the station (bus or train or airport). Just go out and stand by the sign and someone will come along.

    Ride share Taxis or shared rides available to Sarria/Samos from Ourense, Jun 1, 2024

    What time does your plane arrive in Madrid? Both Sarria and Samos are small towns, and there are currently works on the train line in this region and at the train station out of Madrid that serves. There are limited ways to get there. You can take a bus or train to Ourense and then a cab to...

    It is a requirement put into place by the church.

    BIQ questions

    Very small airport. I think you will make the train or there is another one later if you are delayed. Take the bus into town to the train station.
