    Do you need to stay at an albergue to access their luggage transfer service?

    Oziboyz mentioned' luggage' Somewhere, maybe this forum. I read about a group of Albergues along the Camino Frances who have decided that they will not take in Cases, only rucksacks, because the cases are so large and take up so much room in the dorm. I cannot be more exact then that. However...

    Bus/train - From Santiago to Porto

    Reading my previous post, one might come to the conclusion that the journey takes 2 and a half hours, whereas Gwen reckons 3 and a half. The reason being that Portugal is one hour behind Spanish time.

    A little whining...

    Janet and Phil, I do hope you are home safely now. However I imagine that none of us here today had to wait at a the town now called Puenta la Reina waiting for a man to ferry us across the river.

    Bag Transport in Portugal and then switch to Correos in Spain?

    Tuitrans gives an excellent service. I have used them a few times. My preference is to do business with a local firm if at all possible. Buen Camino.

    Ryanair

    Thanks Colette for this clarification. I have booked to fly Ryanair from Santiago to Malaga after my Camino and then Malaga to Dublin. I never intended to have a second small bag with me, but I now realise that I must book priority.

    Ireland to Logrono best route

    Nobody has mentioned rowing in a curragh, and you could land in any port you like.

    Round-trip or One-way airfare?

    It seems to me that flights booked very near the departure date tend to very expensive. However I live in Ireland and so I am not talking about long haul flights. Perhaps you could look at the price of a flight from Madrid to NYC next week and compare it with the price of a ticket for next...

    In through Bilbao and out from Madrid

    The Maritime Museum is well worth a visit also. There is a funicular railway up the very steep hill to the north of the city leads to a lovely park. The station for it is at one of the stops of the tour bus. Enjoy your trip
