    My experience using booking agency for accommodation & bag transport

    FYI I used Santiago Ways to book accommodation & transport main bag along the Francés in June. They were good except one accommodation that did not pick us up when we called as instructed. Santiago Ways had told us to call Casa Roan when we got to Ventas de Naron as the accommodation was 8km...

    LIVE from the Camino FRANCÉS: Flies, spiders, isolation & roommates: not what I expected!

    Live from Camino, I did three years of research, this forum, YouTube, Facebook groups, etc., and there was only one mention of how many flies there are while walking. I guess it’s because of all the poop smells from the horses and cows and chickens. I would’ve bought a net. There was a huge...

    Ponchos in Sarria?

    Hi, I leave in five days (newbie, Frances). This may sound like a silly question, but where exactly in Sarria can I buy a really good rain poncho? My local store is sold out of anything that will cover my pack. I am really short, barely 5 feet tall, so I need a very small size, but with proper...

    Accommodation choices: last 100km

    Hi, I am using Santiago Ways for some bookings for June and luggage transfer, but because we only got the SW accommodation bookings today, I had made some of my own, particular places we had been recommended as close to town in case some of theirs were further out, which they appear to be. Given...

    Can I get poles in Santiago?

    Is it possible to buy walking poles in Santiago de Compostela? Used ones are fine. My sister is flying into Santiago, but I will be in Europe for two months prior and I don’t want to carry poles around. Or maybe I don’t need them? I did use them for Kilimanjaro, but we are just doing the last...

    Last 100km places with pools?

    Hi, my sister and I will start June 18 in Sarría. First timers, so please excuse my ignorance😁 I have written a company that gave me a quote three times asking for accommodation with swimming pools along this route, with no answer. We are willing to pay, We both just like to swim at the end of...

    Santiago to Leon backwards?

    Hi, I was going to just do the last 100kms in 2020 but of course canceled due to pandemic. In 2021 & 2022 my sister (walking partner) couldn’t get the time off (nurse). I was just laid off & after 22 years, I will have a solid break (May-August), & would like to do more, although not the whole...

    Newbie with many questions!

    Hola, brand new here. Proposing to walk Francés in May 2020. Questions: 1. My sister wants to do it with me, but she is in much better shape and can easily walk 20 to 25 km per day. I can only walk 10 km per day, maybe up to 12. Is there a way for us to do it together? I would like to break up...
