    How does our plan sound?

    There is definitely somewhere to stay in Rüa de Francos! Your Day8 puzzles me. I assume you are taking the boat from Vilanova? Which would leave you just a few kilometres to walk into Padrón. Pretty much a day off from walking. Is that your plan?

    Tell me - where are you staying in Rúa de Francos?

    Armenteira to Vilanova de Arousa via Cambados. Is it allowed?

    I regret to report that I can't really help you! In 2022 we decided to walk the "official" route and did not walk through Cambados. We (of course) got our Compostelas. Last year we walked it again and this time we walked through Cambados, where we stayed, and then on to Vilanova but we did not...

    This is the one to Pontecesures. I don’t know of any other route for pilgrims.

    Boat to Pontecesures: which company to choose?

    I think you posted an hour ago on another thread about boat times. I think it has all the information you are asking for here. Can I suggest you take a look and come back if you still have questions?

    Boat to Pontecesures: which company to choose?

    I was totally defeated by the PM route as I could not find the 'attach file' link! Hope this helps.

    Boat to Pontecesures: which company to choose?

    I have travelled twice with Bahia and they have been superb. Olga in the office is a pure delight and gave me sailing times months in advance. Captain Santiago (yes, that’s right) is equally lovely. Bahia operate a bigger boat and a smaller boat simply depending on numbers wanting to travel. The...

    Walking to Santiago the day of sailing

    You are missing something but I am not surprised! Boat sailing times and the ebb and flow of the tides seemed (to me) to be the dark art of the Variante. I couldn't work out how to plan my overnight stops if I didn't know when the boat would leave. Would I have time to walk to Vilanova, enjoy...

    Accommodation in Pontevedra

    Thank you all for your time and your contributions. Much appreciated. I have now booked a room at the Hotel Ruas. I did notice that the Parador in Pontevedra is closed for 5 months in 2023. Presumably a refurb. https://paradores.es/en/cierres-de-temporada

    Accommodation in Pontevedra

    Anyone help me with recommendations of places to stay in Pontevedra? It s such a beautiful town that we do not want to miss staying there, preferably in the old town. Mrs Helado snores (poor me) and I have reached the age where bathroom visits are obligatory during the night (poor me) so a...

    Boat Schedule Inquiry: Vilanova de Arousa to Pontecesures, June 2022

    Just to say that I used Bahia two months ago and the service and their client contact were both outstanding. I used WhatsApp for contact with them. I would certainly use Bahia again.

    Not just walking but enjoying the journey - Culture and history

    A quick bit of research on the internet produced this from El País https://elviajero.elpais.com/elviajero/2016/04/29/actualidad/1461943782_247123.html How to spend 24 hours in Vigo taking in the culture, the history (and the tapas and bars!)
