    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Cheers, I will definitely spend some time there either way! That is good to know. I will keep things open ended for now. Might head out early and try and get a bed at the Municipal in O Cebreiro if I don't feel like stopping at La Faba. Great! Looking forward to it :)

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Yes, I might keep it open for now. Looks like O Cebreiro is fully booked for the date I will be there anyway. Any thoughts on staying in La Laguna?

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    I had a look on booking.com, but couldn't find a bed in O Cebreiro for the date I will be there. Closest I found was in Albergue la Escuela in La Laguna. Any other places you can recommend for finding accomodations?

    Thanks, duly noted :) Great, I will have a look at accommodations!

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    I'll trust you on that one, and will opt to make it for O Cebreiro. I read somewhere on this forum someone saying that O Cebreiro was a tourist trap, but they might have been woefully wrong. I will definitely try to make that adjustment, as I am usually a good friend with the mountains. On...

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    So this is my 10 day itinerary so far. Will make changes along the way if I find it necessary. Also have one flex day, so could extend to 11 walking days. That means one less day in Santiago though. Any feedback on the stages would be appreciated.

    That's great! Do you remember how you divided the walking stages?

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Cheers, this is good to know! I consider myself somewhat social, so I will try and make some new friends on the local municipals and donativos. :)

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Thanks, I will have a look. Will also try to stay out of some of the main Galician cities after Sarria. Hoping to find more accommodation options there. Buen Camino! :)

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Yes, I thought of that option too. As long as I walk the last 100 kms, I am really okay with anything. And I do like a bit of a challenge. Will have a closer look at Gronze for planning the different stages. Cheers :)

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    That sounds like good advice. Definitely want get a wide range of experiences during my Camino. Would you recommend booking these places in advance or is it sufficient to just show up and ask for a bed? I am leaning more towards starting in Astorga as planned. Did a 20k test walk yesterday with...

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Great advice, I will take it to heart. It definitely sounds nice to have some time to explore the cities as well. I guess I will find out what is my ideal pace after the first few days.
  13. taustad

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Thank you for the advice. As this is my first Camino, I would have to experience what is a comfortable pace and distance for me. In that regard, I may have to do a few longer hikes of 25+ kms before to see what distance is preferable for me. But I definitely want to enjoy the walk, and take my time.
  14. taustad

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Yeah, I guess I'd have to choose between the two. Great, I'll check out Gronze to work out the different distances, thanks!
  15. taustad

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Thanks, that sounds amazing. If my legs agree with me, I will try to make it to El Acebo. Cheers ;)

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Thank you very much! Great advice :)
  17. taustad

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    I will consider this option, thanks. I guess it would also be nice to enjoy an extra day or two in Santiago :)
  18. taustad

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Okay, that's good to know. I haven't really used the poles before when walking in the mountains, but I have heard many people recommend them for the Camino. I guess I should be fine without them. I was planning to booking some private places in advance, but mostly just show up to the public...
  19. taustad

    Astorga to Santiago in 10 days

    Yes, my original plan was to go from Ponferrada. However, I am now thinking that walking 20 kms/day will be a bit short. I'd prefer to spend longer days on the road, as opposed to reaching my destination earlier in the day. I'm not sure how "trail fit" I am, as I am most used to hiking in the...
