Arrived this morning and completed the formalities. Spoke to a number of Peregrinos who had arrived earlier and, like me, they were surprised by the lack of clear waymarking into the city from the Portugese route - an assistant at 'Turismo' commented that "it has been mentioned before". Fortunately, a good sense of direction and conversational Spanish helped but is perhaps something the Junta de Galicia/turismo should look at.

Didn't detract from the pleasure of having fulfilled a long-held ambition. Thanks to various Forum contributors who provided advice from their personal experiences.

Cafe Tertulia later.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Congratualtions, Mel!


The tea at the Tertulia is real tea...Enjoy!
And I hope you have some company there from the forum. If you post a photo, we'd love to see it!

Sean and I had a good natter about Camino experiences and 'life in general' - thanks Sean. No photo of Tertulia 'meeting' and because of non smart-phone technology, will be downloading photos when I get home. Will post if I feel they will be of interest and of any merit!
Didn't manage the tea but the white wine was very agreeable.
 
Muito parabéns Mel.

Estamos muito perto de Santiago !
Amanha estaremos en Padrón

Um abraço
