Santiago to Muxia /Finesterre Nov 2017
Hi all , just done my first camino on my touring bike, left SJPD on Saturday morning 08/04 and arrived in Santiago on Sunday 16/04, so 9 days of great cycling , meeting people from all over the world (mostly walking it) and enjoying the great weather which was a bit of luck for this time of year.
I made a few mistakes like taking too much gear which I sent surplus back after day 4, a common error.
Finding the correct exits or directions out of the cites was sometimes tough although I was lucky and asked around for directions. The first part up until Burgos was just about all road and I did not feel like part of the camino until I got on the Meseta and that was the best part in my opinion, also the Calzada Romana was great hot, dry and isolated and then you hit Reliegos nice village where I had the whole albergue to myself, surprisingly.
I stayed in albergues all the way and had no probs with having a bike, all in all it was a great experience and would love to do another, buen camino to all those peregrinos that I met along the way , and good luck to anyone planning on doing the camino it well worth it.
Buen camino
