    my worst flying experience ever
  3. P

    Any advice for when you want to quit?

    Leon is a good rest stop - get a private room with ac and refresh. The cathedral is worth a day's look, lots of other things to explore as well. BTW there are no rules that say you can't hop a train to Leon - they you can continue on or return to your stopping point as you like. Or decide to...

    Chiming in for Astorga - unless you have not yet indulged in stop overs in Burgos and Leon. The cathedrals and museums are worth the time.

    Travel from Canada to Porto

    a lot of flights have a stop over in Madrid - so you might build a side trip around that. Could city hop by train to or from your destination. I found less expensive international flights from the U. S. to Ireland - so flew there and enjoyed a side trip - then an inexpensive Ryan Air flight...

    First timer, solo woman senior. Travel company or self book?

    I did the whole Frances in 2019 at 75, solo - I switched between inns and alberques as I felt the need for privacy. I booked about 1 day ahead from the place I was staying. I always found the innkeepers were happy to help with telephoning and to supplement my poor spainish to make arrangements...

    Does my plan for mailing some supplies ahead to myself make sense?

    Exactly - don't over complicate your life. You will arrive at your hostel tired, dirty and hungry - that's enough to have to deal with. Have a cervesa, stroll around town, visit the cathedral...

    Which towns in the meseta can I bus to Leon from?

    I live in Minnesota - if anyone has asked if I wanted to walk across South Dakota this summer, I'd have run screaming. And then I walked the Meseta ( I confess to finding a reason to jump about 30k) I should add that I am walking the Portuguese this fall - and, since the Portugese is a...
