    Santiago to Sarria

    Hey, second time doing Sarria to Santiago route Travelling on a Saturday, last year there was NO direct bus on Sat/Sun from Santiago to Sarria. Is that still the same case currently? Is it still a case of going from Santiago to Lugo and then onto Sarria from there? My flight landed at 4pm...

    Safety Pins for Hanging Clothes on Rucksack

    Hey folks, I have noticed a few people saying they used safety pins to hang clothes on their backpacks during the day to help dry them out. This will sound like a silly question, but if your using a safety pin to pin your clothes to your rucksack are you not putting a hole in the clothing? Or...

    Compeed Plasters

    Hi I am doing the Sarria to Santiago route next week and was wondering about which Compeed Plasters should I take? Would one pack be enough as well for just 5 days walking? There seems to be lots of options: Compeed Blister Mix (pack of 5) Compeed Blister Extreme Compeed Underfoot Blister...

    Carrying Money

    Hi, I am doing the Sarria to Santiago route next week and just wondering how best to carry money. I will need to pay cash for most albergues and then food and whatever else. Should I take out say 300 euro and carry it on me for the route, or is there likely to be an ATM in each town? Thanks...

    Booking Accomodation before I go

    Thanks all for replies so far :) I guess as I plan to travel on my own, it would be good to meet people in the different places I stay to trade stories. Do most albergues have showers and somewhere to wash and maybe hang out to dry a pair of socks and a t-shirt? If you stay in an albergues...

    Santiago to Sarria on a Saturday

    Hey thanks for your detailed reply. I am not in a rush in that once I get there on Saturday evening its fine, as I plan to start the Camino on Sunday morning. So the earlier I can get there on the Saturday to settle and get something to eat and a good nights sleep the better I guess. I can...

    Santiago to Sarria on a Saturday

    Hey, looking at possible routes and it seems the Monbus does not go on Saturdays/Sundays from Santiago to Sarria directly. If I arrive into Santiago airport at 4.20pm, I can get the Empresa Freire S.L bus at either 5.00pm or 6.30pm from Sanitago Bus Station to Lugo. Am I likely to make a 5.00pm...

    Best way from Madrid to Sarria

    Thanks for your reply, yeh because it is less than 3 weeks away that must be why it is €54. I think the bus would take a good bit longer, so may decide to go with the train or try a different route. Thanks :)

    Booking Accomodation before I go

    Hey :) Im looking at booking a trip last minute, going from 6th to 12th August doing the Sarria to Santiago route. Should I book some sort of accomodation for each night while there, or should I just look to find accomodation at each stop? Out of interest, roughly what % of people would...
