I'm in Melide right now. I could of course do a looooong stretch tomorrow and end up in Santiago in the afternoon but I don't want to. I want to me in Santiago early in the day.

So hit me with your best stay somewhere on the last 20-30 km or so. I can do a really long stretch to Monte del Gozo if that is THE BEST but that will be 48.3 km little longer than from Roncevalles to Pamplona that I did day 2.

I can stay at pensions, hotels as well if you have something really nice to recommend.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Santa Irene private!!! 981-511-000. Small, something like 15 beds and a very well prepared dinner by a mother and her daughter (last year.)
 
Another good choice is the Casa Amancio in Vilamaior. (981 89 70 86) This is a pleasant renovated series of rural buildings with private rooms and common dining room. I have never stayed here but always eat here on the last stretch of each camino. Their food is VERY tasty!
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
A really nice albergue awaits in Salceda. 981-502767. I recently stayed there after Melide and then walked on to Santiago the next day. It is very comfortable with a great bar and restaurant and places to sit outside on the lawns if the weather is fine. A VERY nice private room is just 40 Euros and the dorm looked very good too.
 
O Meson at Brea, about halfway between between Arzua and Lavacolla. (981 511 040) It is signed to the left about 80mts off the Camino track, or you pass it if on the road. There is a small private albergue as well as private rooms. Very pilgrim friendly and great meals at reasonable prices. That leaves 28kms to Santiago. :)
 
I've stayed at both Salceda and Brea and can recommend both as well.

I'd love to hear your comments about your final resting spot. I'm doing CF again next year after walking from Porto this year. All of these other suggestions sounded great. BTW, I walk slow and steady and made it to Santiago just about in time for the noon mass from Santa Irene in a driving rainstorm. Enjoy your final days, they are always my saddest!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Mmmm, nice... After all those albergue bunkbeds :p

Enjoy your last stretch to SdC, Beatrice. And do push forward to The end of the World, it's really ..., you'll see ;)

Ultreia!
 
I just checked in at Casa de Amancio in Vilamaior. € 35. View attachment 6034

Was impressed by the last day you selected.

I stayed at a hotel in Pamplona as all albergues were complete and in Compostilla as I didn't want to go off route in Ponferrada :)

I only did one CR and that was in Vilamayor as I wanted to have some time for my self before entering Santiago.

So unfortunately I'm not much of a help for you.

I have stayed there both last year and this year, lovely little appartment type rooms with a central garden area for relaxing. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful, and only 9kms left for a leisurely morning walk into Santiago.

That was the place I stayed at.
