    Finisterre -it’s raining cats and dogs- should I just sleep in?

    I for one was not impressed with the sunset at Finisterre. As you say, you see beautiful sunsets all the time but going to Finisterre only fulfilled my desire to see what it is all about and also the end of the Camino. I went there by bus after I completed my Camino Frances in Santiago, but...

    Suggestion on the best way to travel from Santiago to Madrid

    Thanks for that piece of info. If tickets are available just 2-3 weeks in advance then that probably explains why I cannot get a ticket. If that is so, then I will have to do my booking while on my camino.

    How have you made your accommodation bookings in the past? Do I have to do them in advance or on the day as I go along is okay?

    Finding my way along the route

    Thank you very much. I am in the learning process and so I am anxious. Yes, the two you mention are listed on the book. I researched those two and I guess those are private hotels and therefore cost more too in comparison to other lodgings. I still have them available for my dates and may...

    Finding my way along the route

    Thank you very much for your post which actually has got me worried, although for a valid, good, reason. In John Brierley's book he talks of two private accommodations in Orrison. Is it these you are referring to or are there other ones too there? Since you have done this before, what is the...
