Camino Completed

[RobertS26]

I can report that the Royal Suite at the Parador in Santiago is worth every penny. I slept like a king last night. And today I will watch other pilgrims arrive from its balcony overlooking the Cathedral and the square. And please don't tell the royal couple, but the first thing I did was put my boots up on the royal desk and took a picture.

Is there a bar in the Parador which overlooks the square? It would be a good place to sip something cool to celebrate the end of the long walk.

Unfortunately, no, the bar does not overlook the Plaza.
Nonetheless, it is a fine place to have a celebratory bottle of Cava with your Camigos.

Hi Robert, well done with your completing the Camino Frances. I'm almost there still 4 day's walking ahead. I be there on Sunday after walking the last 20km together to Santiago. Again well done, Peter.

There is an outside patio bar that has a view of the square. But the main bar is indoors without a view of the square.

Oh, Robert, having been there twice in cold, rainy, windy October, I completely forgot about the patio.
I hope you have a chance to use it.

I remain, so jealous.
Buddy

Hi Robert, well done with your completing the Camino Frances. I'm almost there still 4 day's walking ahead. I be there on Sunday after walking the last 20km together to Santiago. Again well done, Peter.

Peter, there is an amazing albergue in Salceda, if you find yourself near there and need a place to stay. We got the overflow room as the main albergue was full. Overflow: two beds, sheets, blankets, towels (lots!), private bathroom with shower with tonnes of hot water, TV, closet... it was, in fact, a hotel room for 7 EU (and breakfast was included!) The alberque is attached to a resort hotel; the owner (Santiago!) converted his grandmother's house--I think he said it was 200 years old--into the hotel and albergue. It's about 200 m off the main trail, veer to the left when you get to Salceda. It's a little oasis right when you need one! Pousada de Salceda is the name of the place. Buen Camino! Congratulations on not too much farther to go!

We are a day behind you, but then I only have short legs! See you in a bar somewhere again?

Congratulations to all of you!
Will we see some photos from Tertulia?

Hi, yesterday at 12.00 hrs. was the time that I was on the square before the cathedral after 37 day's of walking from SJPDP. And it was wonderful. I wish everybody the same great experience as I had. Wish you all a Buen Camino, Peter.

Hi Margaret, I walked last year with my wife from Sarria to Finistere. My wife walked from Sjpdp to Santiago in 2013 and I did it this year. The plan for next year is to walk from Porto to Santiago. And after next year? ??? .I wish you well, Peter.
