Hi Heather,
I flew into Paris, and was going to figure out how to get back there after I reached Santiago--though of course you're right about advance arrangements costing less. As it happened, my airline went under (which was actually rather a relief, since I didn't have to push myself too...
Thanks for explaining, Caminando.

Hi Juan, and welcome!
O Cebreiro sounds like a reasonable starting point for what you want to do. I don't know how easy it is to get there by bus.
What should you expect from this? That's a huge question, and it really depends on you. Just don't expect Paolo Coelho's version. I can't really...
It took me about half an hour (maybe a bit longer) to walk to the bus station from the cathedral. A woman at the tourist information centre gave me a map that showed where it was--it was pretty straightforward. Actually, she told me I should take a city bus--I was standing there with my pack and...
