Planning on walking the Camino in April/May 2015
I am planning on doing my first Camino Frances at the start of May but I am still unsure whether to book my return flight home from Santiago or can I do it along the way? Any Internet cafes in bigger places? Can I print out my ticket? etc. Thanks for the help.

Hi Andy, yes you will be able to buy your tickets along the way but the later you leave it the more expensive it will be. You can print your boarding pass in Santiago at the St. Martin Pinario Hotel next to the Cathedral or at the Pilgrim Meeting House run by Nate and Faith who are members here.
Buen Camino.

I suppose your concern is that you don't know when you will arrive in Santiago. My advice is just err on the side of it taking you longer than you think. Things happen along the way that slow us down. If you find you've arrived several days before your flight--fine. There's plenty to see around the Cathedral. Also, you may find you want time to soak up the fact that you have arrived. Being in Santiago can be quite emotional. It's hard because it takes so long to get there, and once you're there, the walking suddenly ends. I've appreciated having a couple days--even up to four on longer journeys--to let that sink in. Or, you can walk to Finistere or Muxia if you have extra time.
