Wow Christmas sounds wonderful!My wife, Robin, and I will be leaving for Seville on November 2nd. This was a sort of last minute decision, but the thought of spending Christmas in Santiago tipped the scale and so the deed is done. Tickets have been purchased and Camino gear is once again scattered about the house. It is always a great feeling getting ready to go. But, then there is that walking bit...

What a magic time that will be. I'm only dreaming and calculating and wishing .
I'm in same spot as Laurie but sure if it were next year I could play out the dream .
From what I read in your response re Santo Domingo you have previous experience of Christmas on Camino.
One day !
Buen Camino

Totally agree with LT on the monastery. I have only been there once, but it was a great detour. They do give free tours if you happen to be there during operating hours, well worth it IMO. You can actually re-route your walk if you leave from Riego to avoid going through Granja completely -- you just hook up with the Camino at a turnoff point for the monastery.Good to hear from you! Hope that you will stay with José Almeida in the municipal in Tábara. He offers a communal dinner and breakfast. If you stop by tell him hello from Lee. I stayed with him several days last year. Also I soooo recommend that you take the detour between Riego del Camino and Granja (or from Granja) to see the oldest Cisterciense Monestery in Spain. It is in ruins but oh what amazing ruins. I was so impressed I made the detour on two occasions. Even if it is officially closed you can climb over a low stone wall to get in - well worth your time.
Cheers
