    Hi all. I've started to plan for my second Camino (here's how my first mini-Camino went fyi, Sarria to Santiago) and I am looking at travelling in late April/May 2016 ending in Bordeaux.

    4 pm Bus from Santiago Airport to Lugo

    Thank you for the effort you put into this post. Can I ask though - you say "There is Monbus bus from Santiago bus station to Sarria via Monforte de Lemos leaving 1800" - I've looked at the website though and only see Santiago Bus Station to Sarria - no mention of Monforte de Lemos. Do you...

    4 pm Bus from Santiago Airport to Lugo

    Hi all - thanks for taking the time to respond. I plan to pay it forward when I come back! I feel somewhat less pressured now - I booked my first hostel in Sarria and the owner said as long as I'm there by 11pm (closing time) I'll have a roof over my head! So all going to plan I will try make...

    Bedbugs on Sarria-Santiago this year?

    Thanks all - Amazon would be a good bet but my poor planning on this front rules that out (I leave in less than two days time :) ) I found a horrible industrial version in local hardware store in Ireland (slightly different substance name, kills fleas as well as bed bugs). I did a quick Google...

    Bedbugs on Sarria-Santiago this year?

    Thanks for all the replies everyone - I took Arn at his word and perused the lengthy existing thread on this. I've come to the conclusion that beyond sensible precautions (e.g. checking mattress using spray method mentioned by Anniesantiago above ((thanks Annie!); using bed bug undersheet...

    Bedbugs on Sarria-Santiago this year?

    Hello all. I will walk for the first time next week (Sept 2014) a section of the Camino - Sarria to Santiago. Hopefully the beginning of a life-long obsession! I'm just wondering what bedbugs are like this year? I'll be staying in hostels all the way. Depending on what forums you read, they are...

    4 pm Bus from Santiago Airport to Lugo

    Hi all - first time poster and was about to post same question! Lucky I searched first :) I fly out next week via Dublin and so also land at 15.35pm on Thursday 11 September. I am confused though - Empresa Freire (http://www.empresafreire.com/html/ingles/seccion3a.php) does not seem to be...
