    Travel from Madrid Airport to Estacion Sur

    Looking for the best way to get from Madrid Airport to the bus station at Estacion Sur. Our flight lands in Madrid at 11.45 and our bus leaves at 14.30. We will just have cabin baggage. I don't want to take a taxi if I don't have to because of the cost. Thanks for any advice.

    Alsa Prices - Santiago to Porto airport

    Hi, I'm looking at booking an Alsa bus from Santiago to Porto Airport. The last stop is Camphana (after the airport). If I book a ticket to the airport, it's a different price (more expensive) than the ticket for the bus leaving at the same time (same bus)? to Camphana. Does anyone know if it...

    Church Run Albergues - Camino Frances

    Hi, we're going to be walking the Camino Frances at the end of April. I'd really like to stay in albergues that are run by volunteers or the church. It's important to me to make this Camino a religious/spiritual pilgrimage as far as possible. Last time we walked, I missed out on some...

    Zabaldika

    When I walked the Camino Frances in 2019, someone told me I should visit Zabaldika, which I did, on the way to Pamplona. I didn't find out until later that there's an albergue there too. I'm going to be walking the Camino Frances again, starting at the end of April, and would love the chance to...

    Posting Walking Poles Home

    My husband and I plan to walk the Frances in May 2022. On our previous Caminos we've either checked our poles into the hold of the plane, or bought cheap poles and donated them at the end of the Camino. This time, we're travelling to France (from the UK), by train. However, we plan to fly back...

    Accommodation in Santiago Tomorrow - Sept 28, 2021

    Hi. Could anyone help with ideas for 2 nights accommodation in Santiago please? We usually stay in a pilgrims room, in San Martin Pinario, but they're fully booked. We'd like our own room with bathroom, and ideally, not too far from the Cathedral. We arrive in Santiago tomorrow (Tuesday 28th...

    ATMs in Spain

    Hi. This may seem like a daft question, but can someone tell me, when I withdraw cash from an ATM in Spain and a message comes up with a choice of pressing either a red or green button, which one do I press? Last year, when faced with this choice, my Spanish wasn't good enough to read and...

    Ferry - Camino Portuguese

    I'm planning on walking the Camino Portuguese next year (probably in mid May). I'm thinking of including the Variante Espiritual and believe there's an option to take a ferry for a short part of it, and that there are Stations of the Cross situated in the water? Anyway, my main question is, if...
