I didn’t see tics, flys or mosquitoes. I did see a big old wild boar, thankfully he was dead laying in the path and someone was coming to haul him away. I did unfortunately deal with bed bugs, once I did all of laundry in high heat after a few days with cream from the pharmacy all was good...
Because stopping there if you can provided an incredible experience to start your journey. At least it did for me. People I met there I met again in Santiago, even though our journeys were not synchronized
There is a
luggage transport office just a few doors down from the pilgrim office in SJPD. It was 70.00 euro to ship and hold it in Santiago until your arrival. It's right across from the outfitter (sporting goods) store.
