    14 June 2024: Luggage transfer and getting from SdeC to Sarria

    Have you booked your accommodation in Sarria for Saturday night ? If your flight has wheels down at 5pm Saturday, in Santiago ; I’d be more comfortable staying in Santiago that night close to the station (train and bus )… and catching transport to Sarria on Sunday … Your problem will...

    Last Minute Shoe help

    No need to look any further. Take @C clearly ‘s advice. You have been given some great advice by everyone above … no need to spend more money which could actually give you discomfort.

    Advice for pre booking on the Le Puy please

    I agree with both Margaret & @amandurr Many of the places you’ll stay at, are not near food stops .. & with private kitchens (not for pilgrim use ). It is much easier to do the booking including the dinner etc at one time. Less complicated in my opinion. Rather than explain later that...

    Camino Finisterre in December

    Margaret @mspath I never tire of reading your tips and tricks. You give the reality of what to expect on a camino. ❤️ I’ve read your notes more than once ; as it places me virtually on Camino… a warm feeling. Even at home when going to sleep on winter nights / your words about ‘making a...

    How Camino starts..

    I hear you !! No fun … working around delays and connections. I’m flying from Oz to USA tomorrow and have had to spend hrs with my flight centre Angel getting me onto a flight leaving 8 hrs later that allows enough time for connecting flight. 🙏🙏. You can plan in detail but the airlines...

    Is 5 days in Finisterre a bad idea?

    Hi @JustJack I’m all for a nice rest before heading home too - especially as weather should be getting nice there. But you say that one of the reasons for the 5 day plan is that (private) accommodation in sdc is too expensive. Have you checked with San Martin Pinario ? The private single...

    Pilgrims from Ireland group?

    Hi You might contact @Kirkie from this forum. It is my understanding that there is a Camino Information Centre, situated in St James's church, Dublin. Kirkie has written in a previous thread: “There is a small side chapel, and some members come each time, other people are random. There is...

    Sevilla

    Hi @elke888 That was some loooong haul to Sevilla. I think you’ll be surprised after you’ve had a decent sleep. I find that the jet lag really kicks in on return from Spain. Buen camino.

    Heavily pruned trees

    You’re seeing a method of pruning called ‘pollarding’ There was a thread about this some years ago. Just do a search for pollarding. Some of the places you walk through on camino have plazas with many trees pollarded - to allow sunlight in winter and give good shade in summer once the...

    wanting to get back on the trail, but knee issues

    Wow -I’m lost for words. You have given it everything. I think this is the safest way. I’m like you- I’d prefer to carry my own pack if possible but it’s more important for you I think., to give your poor body some help … don’t over stress it this camino. I see that you are very strong and...

    Conques to Decazeville

    In 2016 … the bag transport vans (from Conques )would offer to carry pilgrims in the van along with the backpacks. 🎒

    Free Airport Shuttle from Booking.com, is it real?

    Usually on booking dot com .. there is an option on the reservation to ask a question / directed to the accommodation booked. I’d pose your question to them.

    Painful corns on foot - any advice?

    @psalmone1 Me too- (I haven’t read all the responses etc). I rarely see threads about corns on here In 2016 I had started Le Puy route with intention of walking from Le Puy to Santiago de Compostela …. However ., although I’d never had corns in my life before … I developed 2 corns inside...
