Finding a friend

Time of past OR future Camino
would like to work 2 to 3 days, meeting with a friend that will be at the Camino. in May (2016)
My friend will be at the camino for about 25 days or more and I would like to meet her 2-3 days before Compostela. What would be the best town for me/her to spend a few days waiting for the other one that is in transit?
Thank you!

I'd spend it in Santiago and catch a bus out to meet her. Don't miss the morning market in Santiago, the rooftop tour of the Cathedral and tapas at the Taberna do Bispo, Rua do Franco! Wait til she is with you to go to the Pilgrims Mass and to see the swinging of the botafumero - although you can use your time to find out when it will swing.

My step sister flew down from England to meet me, planning on walking the last three days with me. I finally sped up my walking the last week or so and we decided to meet in Santiago instead. The next day we took the bus to Fisterre, then spent two days walking to Muxia, then bused back to Santiago. She likes to walk, although never with a full pack, and is just over 70 (and I was just under it). She thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I, and it gave me a chance to "unwind" after having finished the camino. She also did the roof tour after I left and thought it was really neat. I'm glad we went for that option - I found myself wanting to walk longer and faster the closer I got to Santiago - not because I wanted it to be over, but because of some sense of urgency I felt to complete it (hard to explain if you haven't done it) - whereas along the coast we really took our time. Hope this helps - Cherry
