Mananath replied to the thread Advice for Sleeping Options and Other Advice for Inaugural Pilgrims.One suggestion for your itinerary, for your second to last day, skip O Pedruzo and continue on to Lavacola.

I need to skip some sections.As others have stated, I would opt to start at a location where you will have enough time to arrive in Santiago without having to take a bus or something.
