Hello to all,
Last year as my small group were all complete newbies to the Camino, we decided to walk the most famous (secure?) bit and walked from Sarria to Santiago. We were various ages and illnesses so we 'glamped' every night and stayed in private rooms. I have to say, this worked a dream, and this year our group has remained intact bar one, and we have gained a definite one, and a possible one. I have most of the accomodation sorted now, and, as it's a mixed spiritual/healing/holiday/respite, we have again broken some of the days into super short ones so that we can swim or surf or cycle the atlantic at 'Worlds End' for leisure once our daily walk is done.
To that end, our itinerary is this;
Ireland - Santiago (evening flight, overnight stay)
1 Santiago - Negreira
2 Negreira - Mazaricos (due to lack of available albergues/hotels online for Olveira - my group likes to know everything is planned/safe/booked!)
3 Mazaricos - Cee
4 Cee to Finisterre (town) - walk to Faro Finisterre and back after check in
5 Finisterre - Lires for an overnight rest/relaxation/swim
6 Lires - Muxia Port
7 Muxia - O Logoso
Bus to Santiago to fly home.
And here I think would be a good time for my group to grap a bus back to Santiago for many reasons - (people want certs/tattoos/rest nights/to avoid that horrible last 2km approach of boring buildings to Santiago/holidays) but I'm having trouble deciphering the buses. I know that this one (http://www.grupoferrin.com/gestion/descargas/docs/Santiago - Bertamirans - Negreira - Muxia.pdf) runs, but I cannot figure out from the website where the stops are, and that's all I can find. As we are thinking of not getting the bus from Muxia and adding an extra days walk we were hoping to pick it up Olveira/O' Logoso/Mazaricos/A Picota area, so if anyone knows of areas near here (and times) for buses back to Santiago I'd be super grateful (we are thinking of ending in Hospital area so you can imagine what horrors a web search comes up with..... not geographical at all in nature!!!)
Thanks in advance to all,
Buen Camino,
T
Oh, and, PS! if anyone know of a decent tattoo artist in the Santiago area we would be very interested to hear (see!)
And 'Finis Terre' from the Latin translates as 'the end of the earth'. Thats the trouble with languages; they only mean what they sayFinisterre in Spanish is closer to 'Lands End' than 'Worlds End' in English.
Looks like a plan. Sorry, I can't help with the buses.
I will post a warning though: a spectacular and powerful maelstrom forms at Lires on both flexes of the tide. There is plenty of safe swimming but do take local advice. Most locals seem to swim from the North shore out beyond the sand-bar.
And as for a bit of inking: Dr Mortiss Tattoo Clinic, Rua San Pedro 62 will oblige.
This thread https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/camino-souvenir.49567/#post-538328 has my pretty picture.
Tincatinker, you are absolutely correct. After I sent the message above, I went for my daily walk and during my walk realized my error. My intent was to edit the message on my return to state "earth's end" or "end of the earth." I have just returned and see that you caught my error before I had an opportunity to correct it. Thanks, CTAnd 'Finis Terre' from the Latin translates as 'the end of the earth'. Thats the trouble with languages; they only mean what they say
Hi, T,
Just a heads up to make sure you know that Olveira is not on the Camino, but Olveiroa is. And Olveiroa has two places that take reservations, As Pias (which is a very nice pensión in an old stone house) and Casa Loncho (which is much more utilitarian and newer).
Wish I could help with the bus info. I bet they only stop in the main places like Negreira, etc. Hospital is really just a crossroads and a factory, so I doubt there wold be a stop there, but I don't know.
buen camino, Laurie
p.s. sorry I don't know anything about tatoo shops either, but I´ll bet some forum members do, since I seem to remember a thread about that!

For buses from towns in Galicia back to Santiago perhaps either of these English sites may help.

In Santiago the Galicia Tourist Office, Plaza de Mazarelos,15,
has a useful free multi-language listing of all the current facilities in every village found along the camino to Finisterre and Muxia. This also provides telephone numbers and bus schedules. Their staff is friendly and most helpful.
