    Planning Stages

    Hi Nino the Camino Ingles is a great walk and fits nice into a weeks walk-leaving time for other things at the end. you asked about plans for your wife and son-not a great deal to keep a 4 year old happy in Santiago-but the beauty of the Ingles is that its conected by public transport from...
