Hola amigos y amigas

My long awaited camino begins soon!

I fly into Santiago on 22nd July.
I need to find a way to Rubias on 23rd July… any suggestions much welcomed. Which bus can I book online? Or anyone else driving there?

My rough outline is :
Rubias - Pedreira
Pedreira - Tui
Tui - Porrino
Porrino - Redonela
Redondela - Caldas de Reis
Caldas de Reis - Padron
Padron - Milladoiro
Milladoiro - Santiago

I could take the ‘variants espiritual’ if the stars aligned and I thought I was going ok.

I’m a 48 Australian
Taking the pilgrimage sola.

I’m currently in Malaga southern Spain en international language school se llama EF. Yo soy estudiante de espanol porque mi encanta la idioma y por fin.. estoy aqui!! sola hablo unpoco espanol pero, soy dedicado.

No we don’t have ‘killer spiders’ everywhere in Australia. I get asked here once a week you should however be more worried about our sharks and crocs

Bien camino amigos

Any tips are welcomed.
I’m not ‘booking ahead’ to go with the flow of the day and praying the stars align and show me the way.

RIP John.
I’ll be using your book to guide me.

There are local buses from Valenca that might get you close to Rubiães with a connexion, and reasonable bus connections from Santiago to Valenca. None of the individual legs should be more than a couple of hours, but lining them up will be the challenge. It might be easier to get to Valenca and then catch a taxi.

Albergue O Ninho in Rubiaes had a great pilgrim feel the night we were there in June this year. Excellent communal dinner - the table looked like it was set for christmas
