    Samos start?

    We spent the night in Samos. We had a tour of the monastery and went to the Pilgrims' Mass at 7:30 PM where we had a blessing. Lovely and meaningful. Don't miss Samos.

    A word of warning on trail runners or light weight shoes.

    On my Camino last year, I used the Altra Olympus 4 and added a rock plate for extra protection. My feet did not feel the cobblestones. I used the rock plate from the Altra Superiors that I got on sale.

    Bus to Sarria to start (from Santiago)

    We did this as well last September. The only bus was at 11 am. We purchased bus tickets ahead of time. We got a taxi from our hotel in Santiago to the Santiago bus station. It was not expensive.

    Comparing alternate routes from León (to avoid Camino Francés)

    How was the Via Augusta? This may belong on a different thread. But I am interested in this route. My husband was stationed in Rota, not far from Cadiz in the 1980s.
