    Walking alone- should I avoid Astorga to Rabanal?

    My understanding is the event occurred after Astorga on the optional route to Castrillo de Polvazares. I stayed at the charming Albergue Villares (which I would highly recommend staying at) at Villares de Obrigo two weeks after the suspect had been arrested and I was informed by the Belgium...

    Transport from Barcelona to St jean pied de port

    I flew through Smarttravel from Albuquerque to San Sebastian and back from Santiago to San Sebastian on Sept 22 returning Oct 27, 2015. I looked at the ABQ to Madrid return flight costs at $720 and only paid $772 for the above flights through Madrid. I arrived in Madrid at about 7:00 am and flew...
