I walked this route in 2014, just before Easter. It might be busier at the time you are intending to walk, but be prepared to see few other pilgrims during the day while you are walking. After the first day, there were always others in the albergues when I walked, but mostly groups of younger Spanish pilgrims. I found it an opportunity to be more reflective than sociable.3) lastly, is anyone else walking the Ingles fromJune 15 - 21? This is our first Camino and we are looking forward to it.
Sigueiro to Santiago is 16km.
Allowing a couple of hours to get there though is perhaps a touch optimistic. It took me 5 as I relaxed in a park by the sea at one point for a while and spent time in a couple of other open churches on the way.

Apart from a couple of 100m on the main road, the first 11km is more or less through countryside. There area couple of chapels to take photos of but nothing that I can remember is worth a long time detour. If you are leaving early (around sunrise), there were some nice photos to be had of the sun rising and the mist laying in the valleys around Santiago. After 11km you traverse an industrial estate and then into the outskirts of Santiago itself.@mig, I should have asked my question better. Is it a straght 16km, or are there things to do and see along this section of the Camino? Based on what I have read, it is pretty industrial, and so for planning purposes, it would seem that we would simply need the time for that length of walk...am I correct?
how long is the walk from Siguiero to SDC? Of course, we want to make the Pilgrim's Mass, so what time should we leave?
Hi rlr9200,
I'm walking the Ingles route from 17th-22nd June, maybe our paths will cross.
I've walked the Camino Frances and Portugues the last two summers, so looking forward to taking this smaller path next month.
Regards and Buen Camino
I don't recall the pilgrim office providing this service when I was there last year. I think there are a couple of places close to the cathedral that offer this service for a fee, but I checked into my accommodation and left my pack there before visiting the cathedral.As intimated above- rucksacks are banned from the cathedral so leave time to store them some place (pilgrims office i think?)
