      James Storrie replied to the thread Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?.
      I agree with the message about move on to Muxia. The town Cee which is on the way to Fins was also very pleasant. I was happy to move on from Finistere after 3 nights and leave it behind me. In Muxia I stayed 5/6 nights much more relaxed!

      I recommend going to a private hospital or clinic. The reason is that most of the public clinics and hospitals don't have a way to give you a bill at time of service. This means that you will need to wait (sometimes months) to receive the bill...

      You will get a quicker response if you pay for a doctor's review and check than if you expect it for free.

      Get your leg up high above your waist for an hour every day, with an ice pack. I struggled with tendinitis on the Camino twice and had to pause the trip at Burgos, I went to the hopspital, paid for the doctor to review, write a report and give me...
