I am so sorry - I'm getting mixed up - never was good with directions! so Negreira is coming from the Finisterre direction? so what I was asking was coming from the Pyrenees direction, what would be the 15 to 20 mile mark from Santiago?Thanks so much, Rick and Peg for the information! So from the east to Santiago what would be a 15 to 20 mile mark? Thanks again and "buen camino".
one more thing - I misread your reply - Negreira is coming from the Finisterre direction. So coming from the Pyrenees direction, what would the 15 to 20 mile mark be - to Santiago? thanksI am so sorry - I'm getting mixed up - never was good with directions! so Negreira is coming from the Finisterre direction? so what I was asking was coming from the Pyrenees direction, what would be the 15 to 20 mile mark from Santiago?
Thanks in advance!
Well, 15 miles is about 25 km (closer to 24 but 25 is easier to work with) and 20 miles is about 32 km.one more thing - I misread your reply - Negreira is coming from the Finisterre direction. So coming from the Pyrenees direction, what would the 15 to 20 mile mark be - to Santiago? thanks
I don't like to ask somebody "why" they are asking a question, but here it would definitely help us make suggestions. What is your purpose in this unusual plan? You said you have allocated 2 days. Does that include travel time from Santiago to the east and west starting points? It does seem like an odd wait to experience the Camino.Hello everyone - My husband and I would like to walk 15 or 20 miles going from the east and then 15 or 20 miles from the west. We were alotting two days. Can anyone tell me a good starting point for each situation?
Thank you for the information. At the risk of sounding disloyal to my husband, and that is not my intention, I would rather just set off from a point 40 miles from Santiago and do it in two days that way. He has his reasons - mostly relating to accommodation. - We have a hotel in Santiago as our base. I don't know.....one more thing - I misread your reply - Negreira is coming from the Finisterre direction.

If you read the reply to JohnnyWalker, you will get some insight into the motivating factor here. I pulled " my cards a little from my vest."if I were them (well, if I were a 'we'), we'd be starting each from the east and west and meeting at the cathedral. some sort of romantic thing that is not really me (or "we" if I were a "we")
so that's what I'm going to imagine since she is playing her cards close to her vest.
If I were a "we" I ---er, "we"--would instead each of us walk to Muxia to meet (with the stronger walker taking the longer route, with perhaps a head start)
edit: and as long as I am imagining, we'd stay again at the de lolo, and eat pulpo and padron peppers and watch the sun set...and be young again
in that case, I do get wanting a hotel "base station" ...an alternative could be using bus or taxi out and backIf you read the reply to JohnnyWalker, you will get some insight into the motivating factor here. I pulled " my cards a little from my vest."

Thanks so much, John. I am sure that the information will prove really useful. I will be in touch after your return. What is the Camino Moz`arabe?Hola Martha - I think that Santiago is a fantastic place to visit and to use as a base for day walks perhaps to try out what walking a Camino is like. Because of this I have devised walking notes for the last stages of each of the routes as they approach Santiago. The starting points are all readily accessible by public transport. Also for the same reason I devised the Route of Routes which is a day walk around the city touching on each of the Camino routes as well as leading up to Monte Pedruso with fabulous panoramic views.
If you want more information on any of this just email me. I'm currently walking the Camino Mozárabe but I'll be back home on the 25th.

Hi - again - I viewed your video about via de la plata, and noticed, if you were indeed the one speaking, that you had a Scottish accent? My daughter is a graduate student at the University of Glasgow. I myself have travelled to Saint Andrews as a teenager. On prior trips, we have been to the highlands and the isle of skye. We will go to our daughter's master's graduation in Linguistics at the end of this month. Of course, if you are instead, Irish, I made a total fool of myself!Hola Martha - I think that Santiago is a fantastic place to visit and to use as a base for day walks perhaps to try out what walking a Camino is like.

Martha I wish you well on your quest. Thanks for introducing me to the phrase, 'If I had my druthers'!!!!We either go in late March or late May. Which is preferable? If I had my druthers we would be taking a month or so off and walk the entire camino. But a month off is not an option. Eventually, we can walk the whole thing.
