    ?any advice for a group of 8 hoping to go to Muxia for the day?

    Thanks everyone for all the helpful replies. I myself and 4 others in our little group have previously been to Muxia and 2 of us have also been to Finsiterre , they are very different places.

    ?any advice for a group of 8 hoping to go to Muxia for the day?

We would like to visit Muxia and Finisterre or just Muxia on our remaining day and are looking at several possibilities that might be feasible, there are 8 of us. We could hire two small cars for the day which would allow us to go to both...

    Pole usage from Sarria to Santiago

    Hi there Tixunua, I had the exact same debate with myself when I was planning to walk from Sarria to Santiago in 2012. I asked advice from this forum and decided to take them with me. I am going again in 2 weeks and they will be going with me!. I found them brilliant and they were especially...

    Making a Brew - should I Bother?

    We really enjoyed visiting all the little eateries along the Way, but it is indeed hard to find the type of tea that we are used to here in Ireland. We always bring a few bags of our favourite tea when travelling and just order the boiling water when stopping for meals/snacks/coffees. There is...

    ? are walking poles necessary from sarria to Santiago?

    Thank so much to all of you who have given your opinions on the merits or otherwise of poles. I have decided to go ahead and get them as I am fairly certain that my knee is not going to be 100% before I depart as it is now the final countdown of days. I have been back out walking on level...

    ? are walking poles necessary from sarria to Santiago?

    Walking from Sarria starting in 2 weeks. I have had knee trouble in the past and this has been aggravated by a fall last week.

    counting the days!

    Shortly after my slightly early retirement last year my daughter, Linda, asked me what I would like for my 60th birthday. I had been aware of the Camino for a long time and during the last couple of years it seemed to be cropping up in my life more frequently. So I decided to seize the chance to...
