We are in Pedrouzo, and wont be arriving in Santiago until noon tomorrow the earliest. When is the big mass with the pilgrims and Botafumeiro? Do you go to the mass first or get your Compostela?
How long does it take to get the compostela? - are there big lines? I am so excited and so close...
Thanks for the details - I am going to take this with me as I am walking from Santiago to Muxia then to Finisterra, and so many posts about lost signs etc. So hopefully we'll get there without backtracking.
Buen Camino.

Hello, I don't see any maps from Santiago to Muxia, I see mostly from Santiago to Finisterre.
Is there a detail map to go from Santiago to Muxia, then Finisterre from Muxia.
thanks very much.
Looks we'll be there too. I started at SJJP last July and walked to Logrono then in September walked from Logrono to Monlinaseca now I am starting from Astroga and waking to Muxia/Finisterre.
Looks we'll all be there around the same time, lets connect.
Buen Camino
Thanks so much for your kindness and sharing your stories and experiences.
From what I've been able to piece together I will be going from Santiago to Muxia first and stay overnight, plus a full day to do nothing - as I am around the weekend of July 25 St. James festival in Santiago and want...
Since St. James festival July 25 was cancelled last year due to the train tragedy, how busy will it be this year? Does it get busy few days before it or just the weekend - looks like I will be getting closer to Santiago according to my schedule - I just want to avoid Santiago since there will...
Thanks what you said makes good sense to me - I will walk to Muxia first and then to Finisterre as I really want to sit at the edge of the world or once it was and finish with that note. I cant wait, thanks all for your replies.
Thanks for all your responses - I already have my passport from last year, its almost full and I need a new one to take me to Santiago.
I will go to the Tourist Office near the Gaudi Museum to get it as some Alburge don't give you passport if you are not staying there.
I used them when I hurt my foot and I couldn't walk with my pack, they are awesome!
Here is the link and they do from Finisterre to Muxia as well.. their hotel listings too. You have to tell them where to pick it up and put the money in a envelope. I paid it in lump sum so I didn't have to find...
I am starting from Astroga July 6 and walking to Muxia - how busy will it be?
I walked from SJPP to Logrono last July and it was empty since it was so hot.
I walked from Logrono to Molinaseca last September, it was busy and it was also warm.
Any suggestions for this leg of the trip from...
After Santiago we want to keep walking to the both Finisterre and Muxia, but don't know which one to do first and to do last.
How much are each distance and how easy/hard is the path?
Are they well marked? Are there lot of travelers?
Which one would you do first and last, and why? I hear...
Thanks so much, looks like I am in luck they are open at 11am.. which is perfect. we can walk the 7km to Pontferrada and take an early lunch break and then head on our way.
Is this castle open during the day - We will be staying at Molinaseca the night before and if we walk to Ponferrada will it be open? Not everyday you get a chance to see a magnificent 12th century Templar Castle in tact and what are our chances to see it? I found generally things are closed...
You guys are the best!
I just figured out that I can take an ALSA bus from Madrid to Astroa - 1:45pm to 6pm.. the best choice for me since I don't have to switch!
Now how easy is to book the tickets online since some bus companies don't like to sell the tickets until an hour or two before the...
I am finishing my Camino this year as I left off last year in Molinaseca - but I am willing to back track couple of days since I want my friend to see Astroga and walk couple of days to get my legs back before getting ready for O'Cebreiro.

...you walk with on the Camino but something easy. But the key is to keep your feet dry as aired as much as possible when you had time after walking.
*Always shower after your walk, never before the walk.
Vasaline your feet and take care of your feet. Trim you toe nails as long nails will start...
