Hi,

It's been 6 days i've been walking and i think i have to postpone my journey for the future. After walking Molinaseca, my knees are in pain. I took a day off, but it didn't help. I can bearly walk now.

I left Villafranca Del Bierzo in the morning and i'm in La portela de valcarce.

Is there a bus from near Vallafranca del bierzo to Santiago?

You can try and take the Ponferrada - Santiago bus (Alsa) from Ambasmestas. Otherwise you'll have to return to Villafanca first, take the bus to Ponferrada and then from there directly to Santiago.
Sorry to read of your misfortune :(

I'm not exactly how Spain's bus system works, but iy looks like Ambasmestas station is at 24520 vega de valcarce, which is where im staying.
