my friends and I are continuing our Camino in October, we fly into Santiago on Sat 29th Oct, landing at 16.20.
Am I correct that there is no bus heading towards Astorga until 9.30pm?
Looking like we will have to do a taxi transfer, I've looked at hiring a Minivan too as there are 6 of us....Any...
Hi, 6 of fly to Santiago de Compostela on 29th Oct at approx 16.00hrs, it is proving difficult to arrange transport to Astorga, next bus seems to be at 9pm?

Hi,
just home after a great trip.
We were told on our Camino that Compeed should only be used as prevention...Do not use on already formed blisters! They 'cook ' your blisters.
Use Vaseline in mornings on your feet, change your socks during the day.
If blisters form, drain them with a needle...
I'm just back, had no problem in Dublin with poles attached to our Backpacks...unfortunately they were taken from us on our return flight, I deliberately brought cheap poles as I heard there could be problems...it may be worth checking in your Backpack.
Caroline :D
Go for it, I am just back from 6 days walking from St. Jean to Estella...already planning my next trip.
Highlights.......Orisson Hostel...very glad I spent the night here, what a wonderful welcome we got...good food, clean dorms, packed lunch. We were nervous to go as far as Roncevalles in one...
Hi, I am new to this too, beginning on 26th June, There seems to be a lot to worry about, sleeping bag or liner, which Backpack, finding the right light rain jacket, boots or shoes etc.
I;m sure it will be fine once we pack the bags and then unpack again to leave half of it behind!!!
Buen...
Is there a Left Luggage facility in Bilbao Airport. My friends and I will be travelling after our Camino and we would like to leave a bag at the airport.
Caroline
Thanks for the help guys.
We are wondering if there is a Left Luggage facility in Bilbao Airport?
I am currently doing research on Rucksacks...

At last, I have booked my flight. I will be starting the Camino on 26th June. If anybody can recommend somewhere nice to stay in St Jean for out night I would be most grateful.
Now I have to buy my rucksack etc. I bought a sleeping bag liner, do I need more than that? Is a sleeping bag...
Does anybody know if Ryanair are likely to have a summer flight to Bordeaux from Cork?
I was considering Cork-Paris but it seems to be a long Journey from Paris to St. Jean and our flight arrives in CDG about 3pm.
Otherwise I might fly Dublin -Biarritz.
Travelling end of June.
