    Bus or Uber from Santiago to airport

    You can also walk if you have plenty of time. I walked from the airport into Santiago. It is about 15 km and joins with the Camino Frances after the first few km. I found it a great way to START my Camino Finisterre. But then I took the bus out to the airport when I left.

    Hiking Pole Rehoming Service?

    In 2022 I started walking in Santiago, and was able to pick up some donated poles at the albergue where I stayed. I walked to Muxia and Finsterre, then Porto to Santiago again and left them at the same albergue. Sweet! All I need to provide was some pole tips.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I am looking forward to this route next spring, so this is most helpful.

    LIVE from the Camino Kitchens in the Albergues in the Camino de Invierno

    Very useful information as I understand several of the albergues are in areas with no restaurants nearby. Thank you.

    Extra days to fill

    That's a great idea also. Then group has great ideas! Did you stay at O Lugar de Jesus in Escrivatude? I love that place:)

    Extra days to fill

    That would make it pleasant, but I also like the idea someone suggested of walking to Finisterre (or Muxia).

    Tips for two weeks time !

    Gators for the sand are a good idea but you probably only need them in a few places, depending on sand shifting. A few albergue suggestions: Casa de Carolina at Anha Quinta da Quinhas at Vila Praia de Ancora (and walk up the hill to the restaurant) Then I went inland at Caminha to Valenca and...

    Extra days to fill

    You could take an extra day with the Variante Espiritual. It is typically 2 days of walking plus the boat, but the first day from Pontevedra has a giant hill, and the second day is quite long (for me, anyway), but very beautiful.

    Question about stages and accomodation: Labruja, Armenteira

    I stayed at the municipal albergue in Armenteira and was able to book in advance through WhatsApp. If you do this, make sure to get a confirmation. I almost lost my bed because I didn't have one. From there it is a short walk back to the Monastery for the pilgrim service, which is lovely. I...

    Atypical/memorable albergues on Camino Francés?

    Refugio Guacelmo in Rabanal is donativo and would be more personal.

    Atypical/memorable albergues on Camino Francés?

    Casa de Jesus in Vilar de Mazarife has a ship of some kind in the yard and is a very nice albergue. I have fond memories of my stay there. Not sure if that is the one you are referring to.

    Which route between Caminha and Tui?

    I walked the original route from Caminha to Valenca in fall 2022 and loved it. I actually stayed Sao Pedro da Torre (Alvorada Medieval is an awesome albergue) which is a few km before Valenca. I stopped at Vila Nova de Cerveira for lunch so it is well supported. But it was a quiet walk and I...
