The Pobo Gallego Museum is a day's worth in Santiago.
I'm 'veg' too but find history, culture, and even food to be wonderful in Spain. Go eat Pimentos de Padron somewhere for starters. Yum! (But I am scratching my head to understand why being vegetarian has anything to do with appreciating culture and museums? I must be misunderstanding.)I am not into museum and cultures and food as I am veg but I really love beautiful sceneries.
One of the children I'm teaching here in Spain said the highlight of Christmas for her is a visit to Vigo for the Christmas lights.There is a north - south rail link that goes through Santiago (which I will be using next week)
You could travel to Vigo which is a substantial seaport city with lots to see. Or if you go north you could go to A Coruna.
Some of the intermediate stations such as Padron or Pontevdra are good for half-days and can be combined.
Typical vegetarian dishes that are very widely available in Spain include paella de verduras, parrillada de verduras, tortilla de patatas, patatas bravas, gazpacho and other soups, etc. And that's just at standard restaurants. Then there are vegetarian and/or vegan restaurants, and there are seven of these just in Santiago, for example.
For @ManiBaskaran, my favourite veg places in Santiago are Green House, Entre Pedras and Porta Verde.
I saw it on IG!!!One of the children I'm teaching here in Spain said the highlight of Christmas for her is a visit to Vigo for the Christmas lights.
Where are you flying back from?Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful. Been walking with blisters for past 3 days. I dont think I could take it anymore. But I have 7 days left that I plan for Santiago to Finisterra/Muxia. Is that any recommendation how should I spend my next 7 days? I am thinking to take a bus and spend 1 night in Finister and 1 night in Muxia. But I still have 5 nights left. Should I take a domestic flight to somewhere else or take bus to other camino route? I travelled very far fr Asia to here. What would you suggest? Thanks.
I would agree on Vigo. If you really like scenery, from Vigo you can take a ferry out to the islands off northwest Spain. Very beautiful seascapes!There is a north - south rail link that goes through Santiago (which I will be using next week)

Since you have come so far from Asia, here is a map of the network of the national routes of the Spanish ALSA bus company. No walking, no museums, and a rather limited offer in the way of cultures and food on their buses but plenty of scenery.I am not into museum and cultures and food as I am veg but I really love beautiful sceneries.
Yes it is typo and has nothing to do with each other. Sorry. I am just very tired after long walk. I have short legs and I walk very slow. So I click on average 50,000 steps per day. Well I do respect cultures and museums a lot. But as I have very limited time, I prefer to spend time with nature. Sorry about the typo.Ok, since a full camino is off the cards, just take a bus to Finesterre to enjoy the scenery and sea - then after some days a train from Santiago to Madrid. Or if you want to see a lot of scenery without being on your feet take the train to (say) San Sebastian. It's a long but really gorgeous journey. Whatever you do it would be hard to go wrong. Spain is a gorgeous place, with a lot to enjoy.

I didn't wear a pair of proper shoes. I will take picture tomorrow. It is jsut normal shoes. I bought proper shoes before but it was too heavy and stiff to protect ankles so I didn't bring. I wear something light without ankle support and soft. Many pilgms that walked pass me or walked with me say my shoes are the problem. I did toes taping too. I think I tape wrongly. Didn't tape full so make it worse. The untape area has huge blisters. I put dry powder too and thick merino wool shocks that hug tied. Not sure if because of raining. So the socks n shoes are all wet. Many frictions.What shoes/boots are you wearing? A pic would be nice. I did take the bus to Fisterra/Finnesterre and
it was great!!!!
Certainly a contributing factor. Can’t help it if it persistently rains the whole day. But it’s a good idea to have spare pair of socks so you can change when you stop for coffee.Not sure if because of raining. So the socks n shoes are all wet.
You have done very well indeed to cover 50,000 steps per day with many frictions. On Camino I often do 40,000 per day - but with no frictions; and that is enough. There is no need to make a holiday into an endurance test. Take the bus tour, then take another bus tour, then sit in front of the cathedral watching pilgrims arrive and enjoy being in Santiago. A day in quiet contemplation can be as rewarding as a day of frantic activity.I am taking full day local tour to Finisterra Muxia and local proximity tomorrow. If my toes are better, I will walk the Camino to Finisterra from the day after tomorrow, didn't continue to Muxia. Thanks.
Wonderful idea!I am taking full day local tour to Finisterra Muxia and local proximity tomorrow. If my toes are better, I will walk the Camino to Finisterra from the day after tomorrow,

Go to a spa and relax. I went to one nearby for several days. Had massages and recovery time.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful. Been walking with blisters for past 3 days.

First of all I congratulate you for getting to Santiago .. what I would have done is found a lovely spot by the seafront and soaked my feet in there on a daily basis as I understand salt water is good for you , after a few days feeling much better then I would have gone to Madrid to chill out before returning home ..if you not got your compostela yet then by all means get the bus to finish off your camino ..Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

I didn't see anyone else mention Compeed, so I will. Compeed blister "pads" are amazing: They are like an artificial callus; they stay on through walking and showers for at least a week, and really work. I only had a couple blisters, but they stopped them from being a problem.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

Sorry about your feet. I was the same the first time I arrived in Santiago.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

If you rent a car you could visit the picas de Europa for some really beautiful scenery.Sorry about your feet. I was the same the first time I arrived in Santiago.Yes, take the bus or the train to where ever you want to go! Spain is beautiful! Or rent a car. I recommend Leon and Burgos.
First I would go to an emergency room and get properly patched up. You going to have to get through airports in a few days so you need to make sure your ready. With that knowledge you'll know if you should completely stay off your feet or participate in more strenuous activity that others have suggested.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

I just spent 2 nights in Madrid before returning home after walking all but the last 100 km's to Santiago. I wanted to save that for my next year visit to the Camino. Where did you stay that was reasonable? Was it in the Plaza Major area? I had a great place next to the airport for my last night but couldn't find a reasonable (private room) hotel in the city center.Sorry to hear about your blisters. Many of us have experienced the same. Muxía and Finisterre are both worth visiting. If you still have five days left, and you haven’t spent time there, go to Madrid. It’s truly one of the magnificent capitals of the world. You can take the high speed train or fly there from Santiago. In addition to museums, you can find so many wonderful cafes and bars to sip coffee or vermouth. Tapas are great! Further, relatively cheap accommodations can be found in the heart of the city. Best wishes completing your journey.
If your feet are painful and you cannot walk through a town/city or through museums etc., perhaps you’d like to stay a few days at this place: The Little Fox House http://www.thelittlefoxhouse.com/ . It is near Muxia. I’ve never been there but have read nice things about it on other Camino forums.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

@shinta_narulita Get a bus to Ourense (Orense), spend a couple of days with your feet in the hot springs and take it easy. If you are in pain I wouldn't go wandering to Finisterre or Muxia, walking more will just add more damage.
As for walking shoes I have tried several.
My first Camino I used a set of cheap (£35) Decathlon suede walking shoes. Not waterproof and not designed for 20 mile days. I wore the first pair out by Ponferrada. Bought a second pair there and they got me to Santiago.
Second Camino I went for Karrimor Bodmin IV and they were very good. 20-25 mile days without issue, but the soles wore through inside a year.
I have never had blisters while on Camino. I wear proper wicking, walking socks. I cream my feet with cracked heel foot cream 2-3 times day. Wash socks daily. A couple of times a day i will take my shoes and socks off and let my feet breathe. Doing that I have walked many 100s of miles, with heavy packs and never had a blister.
Not getting blisters is as much about actively dealing with your foot health as it is having good fitting shoes/boots suitable for the task.
So consider your current experience if you do decide to do your "Walk all Caminos" plan. You are going to need good shoes or boots if you want to walk 54,000 km, not to mention better procedures for dealing with foot health.
Thanks. I have them. Have not used. Someone gave it to me last night. Thanks for this. I didn't know that I do not need to take out during shower. I thought I have to change everyday. I will try it out tomorrow. I am going for the Camino again. All the private albergues are closed. Hotel is not so nearby. So I was suggested to stay in the municipal. But still not all stop are open. Only Negreira, Olveiroa, Corcubion and Finister.I didn't see anyone else mention Compeed, so I will. Compeed blister "pads" are amazing: They are like an artificial callus; they stay on through walking and showers for at least a week, and really work. I only had a couple blisters, but they stopped them from being a problem.
I think I will end my walk at Finisterra and I will have time to do this Rias Baixas. Yes heard about it. They have it this Friday 2nd Dec 2022. Thanks. I tried Entrada and A Porte Verde. Passed by vege house 2 days ago but too far fr cathedral. Maybe I will try when I return fr Finisterra. Hope I can find my way. I like Entrada.Agree with the comments so far: take a bus to Fisterra and bus to Muxia… there are also tour companies offering more scenic bus tours to those destinations…
Santiago itself is plenty for 2-3 nights! Don’t rush Santiago! If weather is good, Alameda Park is a short walk from the cathedral and offers beautiful view of the Cathedral. Cathedral rooftop tour is also highly recommended by people although I haven’t been yet, it was raining!
Another tour that is offered a lot in Santiago is tour of the Rias Baixas area: so you will see fishing villages, mussel farms, some Albariño wineries etc. I have done similar visit but independently as I had a car with me, beautiful

Hi Jillian, We have always had very good luck finding very reasonably priced private accomodations near the Plaza Mayor. This past April, we stayed at the Hostal La Casa de la Plaza. Found it on Booking.com for just €40/night for two. Although on it’s own little plaza, it’s just a few meters away from the Plaza Mayor. Great location; clean, comfortable rooms. From this spot, one can stroll in almost any direction through wonderful neighborhoods. My new favorite spot, one that was recommended on this Forum, is the bar Los Gatos. This tiny little place was on our walk from the hotel to the Reina Sofia Museum. Wonderful tapas and vermouth on tap!I just spent 2 nights in Madrid before returning home after walking all but the last 100 km's to Santiago. I wanted to save that for my next year visit to the Camino. Where did you stay that was reasonable? Was it in the Plaza Major area? I had a great place next to the airport for my last night but couldn't find a reasonable (private room) hotel in the city center.
Also, FYI the Reina Sofia Museum was magnificent if you like 20th century art. I loved the Prado when I went a few years back but was pleasantly surprised by the less mentioned Reina Sofia. And you are so right about the bars ad restaurants there! Love Madrid!
And also, also, I had multi-blisters on top of blisters while walking. I found that moleskin worked the best for me. I brought it with me and glad I did because I never spotted it in the pharmacies I went into while walking the Camino. I never asked for any but it wasn't with the Compeed or bandages.
I stay at the last stamp. Perfect for me because I am not good with location. I need to stay somewhere easy to be found. Nearby airport, I stay at Lavacolla, walked 1km fr main road. Really nice private room and price is reasonable.I just spent 2 nights in Madrid before returning home after walking all but the last 100 km's to Santiago.

Hello! So sorry you are in such pain. I think people have given you some very nice suggestions. The only thing I would add, after just completing the Camino this October, is to get the book, Fixing Your Feet, by John Vonhof (7th edition, and you can get it in Kindle). I have been using it for years to prevent blisters on long walks like the Camino and I’ve been very successful. I even taped my husband’s feet this year on the Camino (after the first day when he got two blisters and didn’t want more!). There also is great advice in the book in terms of treating blisters, and I always carried it all each day in case we needed to treat something immediately (which we did one day!). We both are 70+ in age and are able to prevent problems…so my guess is, everyone can!! Wishing you a nice conclusion to this incredible opportunity. You certainly can come back someday and do other parts. Don’t get discouraged about the next walk. There are great ways to prevent blisters even though you got them this time. Great job in all you have done!Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful. Been walking with blisters for past 3 days.

Yes indeed. It has been converted and also has pilgrm rooms. Read more about San Martin Pinario in this earlier threadThis is a monastery that is being converted into hotel

Yes!! Same for me! I’ve had many of the older editions too. What a difference!!Great book. I have it downloaded on my kindle app. on my phone. It goes everywhere with me.
Yes, there's a right way and more than one wrong way to use Compeed. Rebecca Rushton's site is excellent for explaining its proper use.Be careful of compeed. It has its uses, but can make blisters worse too. Check out Rebecca Rushton's website (https://www.blister-prevention.com/category/blister-treatment/ )- she has a ton of really good info about blister treatment. A fabulous site.
Had a few nice lunches and a dinner in San Martin Pinario In October after my Camino. Excellent value and great waiting staff.Yes indeed. It has been converted and also has pilgrm rooms. Read more about San Martin Pinario in this earlier thread
If budget allows, buy some walking sandals and wear with wool socks, or two, as much as you can. Then enjoy walking in porto or pamplona.I am taking full day local tour to Finisterra Muxia and local proximity tomorrow. If my toes are better, I will walk the Camino to Finisterra from the day after tomorrow, didn't continue to Muxia. Thanks.
Another possibility is the Camino Inglés, either from A Coruña or Ferrol. Both have good bus or train connections to Santiago. Take a day or two in Santiago (worth spending time in) then head up to either of those two cities before starting to walk back to Santiago. You will then have completed one complete camino of the many you planned to walk in another post you put up.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

There are plenty of places in Galicia that you can get a train or a bus to. Pontevedra is a lovely place to visit and the very old and picturesque village of Combarro is an hour’s walk or a short bus ride away. La Coruna is also an interesting City. I envy you your time there. I hope your blisters clear up.Buen Camino, after completing last 100km of Camino Frances on backpack, my toes are full of blisters and really painful.

Thank you! I guess I wasn't looking at the right app. I was ticked at Booking for charging me for a night I didn't make it to the booking. I gave them 23 hours notice just under the cutoff.
