Hello Fellow Pilgrims!
Background:
First let me thank all of you for such wonderful information that makes planning our camino a breeze and such fun!
My sister and I (36, 39) are walking from O’Cebreiro to Santiago May 17th to 23. We arrive in Madrid the 15th (Friday) @ 10pm. We will be walking among other reasons for religious reasons as we are both Catholics and Hoping to meet other pilgrims along the way. have poured over many threads here! Can’t stop reading them
Logistics:
Stay overnight in Madrid by Train Station and take 7am train Saturday morning to Leon. Arrive with time to view Leon a bit, then Alsa bus @ 4pm or so to Piedrafita. Taxi from Piedrafita to O’Cebreiro and spend the night there (arrive in Piedrafita around 7:30pm)
Start walking Sunday may 17th.
Questions:
1)Is this a good plan?
I have a few places mentioned here that we can call to make reservations for our first night… someone in another post mentioned there probably will not let then stay at the albergue if we arrive in Taxi or haven’t walked that day… nonetheless, I think arriving at 7:30pm, there might not be beds available, so I think we are better served making reservations somewhere not too expensive (we are on a budget)
2)Any recommended places in O’Cebreiro?
3)Will we find a place for dinner at that time?
4)**Any places in between O’Cebreiro and Santiago that are recommended to stay or miss
5)**Lastly, We are very much looking forward to Communal Dinners with other pilgrims, so any places you can recommend that offers communal dinners would be great.
(I realize it’s a lot, I didn’t want to trouble you all with so many different threads, so I thought in condensing it into 1 big post) hope its ok
Thanks in Advance, I welcome any and all recomendations! (and from my prior questions about making our own fleece bags, I'll post pictures as soon as my mom finishes them! Promise)
