    Leaving Santiago logistics

    We just stayed at Hostal Concha in Lavacolla on August 12th. It was very basic but clean and cheap. Close to the airport as well. Upstairs from the bar but very quiet. Most people there were pilgrims getting an early flight.

    SJPP-Roncesvalles Map

    I remember that the map had good pictures with turn by turn directions. I also didn't want to miss the detour road down to Ibaneta and avoid walking the steep slope to Roncesvalles. Much thanx to all.

    SJPP-Roncesvalles Map

    I remember that the map had great detail that was not contained in the Brierly book. That is the reason I wanted it.

    Pilgrim Office QR Code Question

    I will be arriving in Santiago on August 11th. I went on the Oficina del Peregrino Website earlier today and got a QR Code, which I saved. Was this too far in advance, and will I need to secure the QR code again as my arrival date is almost two months away? Much thanx for the help - Steve

    Camino de Invierno Backpack Transfer

    Does anyone know if backpack transfers are available on the Camino de Invierno? Seems like Jacotrans and others concentrate on the Camino Frances. I am having shoulder surgery this week, and carrying a pack in April might be problematic. Much thanks - Steve

    Back Pack Rain Cover AND Rain Poncho?
