    Train Santiago to Porto

    Hi, we had booked a camino for last September and had to reschedule for this early June. I previously had booked a train from Santiago to Porto to start travel back for our flight home from Lisbon. It included all the transfers. Now I can't find a trip back on any of the train websites that...

    Question about Monastery of Herbón

    Hi, my husband and I want to stay at this monastery but we had to change our plans and are now only able to walk from Tui to Santiago, the minimum to get the Compostela. Does anyone know if this would be an impediment to staying there? Thank you in advance.

    Questions related to getting your Compostela

    Hi, I could not find a thread on this so forgive me if this has been asked in the past. Just a few questions: 1) We already have Credentials from books we've bought. So if starting at Porto, we need to go into the Cathedral to get our first stamp, correct? Can anyone tell me the name of the...

    Monastery at Herbon - digging deeper

    Hi, I'm sorry to ask so many questions this week! I'm on our last accommodation and I've kind of avoided it because of the complexity. We'd like to stay at the Monastery at Herbon and I know they do not take reservations or have private rooms. But I've read there can be a long line to check...

    Any recommendations of places to stay in Rubiaes?

    Hi, I've been looking for quite some time today and can't find a good option to stay in Rubiaes. There is a place called Quinta das Leiras but it's booked for our date in September. There are villas/houses in the distance but it may be quite a ways away from town. I see from a previous post...

    Is Casa de Fernanda in Barcelos?

    Hi, I was told to book Casa de Fernanda in Barcelos. That is one of our stages. However, I have read that it is 18 km (11 miles) from Barcelos. We can't walk that far after walking all day. Our next stop is Carreira de Agra which is a 12 mile day. Is she closer to that stop?
