    This has been asked in the past but it's been a few years, so: Is there anything resembling a "camino store" in Porto?

    Doctors in Santiago

    Hey guys, we are walking to Santiago and when we get there we might have to see a doctor in Santiago. Does anyone have advice? Should we go to the hospital. A GP (general practitioner) should be fine. What is the cheapest and easiest? It would be great if they can speak English. Thanks
