  Thank you so much to all of you for your input. It’s been so helpful. Just to clarify, I’m going from mid-August to mid-November. I’m hoping to get to Santiago and then Finisterre with enough time to spend a few days in Madrid and then a few...

  exciting! yes, plan for two nights... Le Puy en Velay is a charming and historic place for a pilgrim. A full day is needed; not only to rest and adjust to the new time zone, but to absorb the sights and vibe of your imminent adventure. You can...

  I use compression bags-- some are water proof, some not. I bought two back in the early 90s; they're a bit heavy. Newer ones are lighter. It's important to remember the compressing stuff makes the stuff smaller, but not lighter. How many...
