    Is there lodging in Ponte Arnelas?

    I am looking at the CP with this variant for July 2022. Can you share your plan? I like to do shorter days, under 20 km, and I am thinking about skipping the boat. Currently looking for ways to shorten the walk from Vilanova de Arousa to Pontecesures/Padron. Thanks

    Got limited Camino time? Leave out the last 110km!

We can argue that those walking for "the challenge" or other personal reasons are just as much "tourist" as the school kids on a 2 day walk and and not pilgrims. I walked last June and walking into Santiago was all I could think off. My only...
