    Too late for dinner in SJPP?

    I know someone who stayed there a few years ago. The "activities and evening meal" were delayed to await arrival of some pilgrims arriving by train.

    Thanks for reminder. Maybe 8 years ago I read this text, perhaps a link from this forum! Buen Camino.

    Beilari in SJPP if dinner isn't an option?

    Hola, I think you would be happy to have your first night reserved? So this albergue appeals to you. No communal meal, no worries. There will be many novice pilgrims sleeping there. Be prepared as mentioned by Anniesantiago The large supermarket (Intermarche?) might be open until noon? Buen Camino.

    Departing Santiago for home the same day I arrive

    Gillers, Is it worth condensing the walking into 4 days instead of 5 so that I arrive in Santiago on the Wed 10th, sounds like an echo! I would say no and go for that cheap flight. Delayed gratification is quite pleasing and powerful, so even if you don't visit pilgrim office for final sello /...

    Santiago Airport-trekking poles and checked bags

    Quintana, the requirement to check poles at Santiago is by security. We wouldn't like you to loose your poles, so specifically you need to know will Ryanair check your poles free of charge. I suspect the only way to get answer is for someone to ask at Ryanair desk in Santiago. I may be...

I opted to overnight in Santiago and catch train around 8:30 the following morning arriving in Ponferrada...

    I will be starting my Camino from St. Jean on Wed March 9th 2016

    I suppose I said this as this was first post by pilgrim and I assumed they know a bit about walking. Nothing wrong with hotels etc but if they wish to meet "totally new arrivals open to the way" on the Camino this might be the opportunity, as I doubt local albergues will be completo at this...

    I will be starting my Camino from St. Jean on Wed March 9th 2016

    Scott, I wish you well walking at this time of the year. Be yourself and all will be well, but you probably know that already. Do you want to push the boat out? Cancel your reservation in hotel and simply arrive, yes difficult to do, but what is the worst that can happen!!! Buen Camino.

    The towels in albergues?

    Bring a lightweight travel towel with you. Wherever you get a fresh one provided you will feel like a king. Renting is expensive. Enjoy your planning. Buen Camino.
