Hi we arrive from Dublin into SDC airport 3 May 415 pm hoping to catch bus to Lugo at 455pm. Does anyone know where exactly to the bus to Lugo stop is at airport. Is it in the same area as regular bus for the city. Catherine O'Connor
Hi researching this route May 2023. Considering OURENSE as start point as easy to get train from SDC. Would appreciate an itinerary 5/6 days walking, 17/20km per day. Also recommendations for accomodations/must see places and if anyone used luggage transfers
Depending on which month you are going I think booking ahead is recommended. Some albergues were still closed in April but the route was busy enough. Recommend Albergue Monte Aro and definitely book finisterra accomodation
We just finished on 5th April. Some albergues still closed. Others we were their first peregrinos. The albergue owners expect it to be busy after Easter. Recommend Monte Aro, great host.
Hi Vince I have contacted the pilgrims office regarding the compostela as it is relevant for some of our group but not for me. Others on the forum have confirmed it's OK and as it's over 100km like other routes then I agree. We intend starting at lighthouse, walk to finisterre, lires, muxia and...
Hi Washie, just getting ready for our trip now. Just want to see it you were able to get the compostela in Santiago, even though you did not have the stamp from the church in Vigo.
I got quotes for this journey earlier this year, anything from 120 to 150 for taxi/bus. You could get train to Vigo about 11 euro and get taxi from there. You could try Tui Trans either.
In Tui consider staying at Ideas Peregrina, the staff and food are lovely. Visit the fort in Valenca, nice shops and cafes. You could go to Vigo and visit Islas de Cies - day trip and highly recommended.
