Day 5: A Rúa to Quiroga — 29 (?) km Well, that was a pretty epic day! How far was it? Gronze says 26km, Wise Pilgrim 27, the mojones indicated 29-30, Wendy’s phone said 36 but it’s notorious for significantly overestimating distances (mine said... -
GGrousedoctor reacted to MariaSP's post in the thread Boat from Villanova de Arousa to Padron & Compostela with Like.
If you start in Pontevedra, you don't walk 100km into Santiago, and that's why you don't get your Compostela. The credenciales issued by Santiago's cathedral have little maps of the routes on the back, and the Variante Espiritual is mentioned...

That’s why I said to say the part about needing to start from Vigo or O Porriño but don’t say the part about the VE not being recognised. In the past that has caused confusion among pilgrims who think it means they can’t get a compostela if they...

GGrousedoctor reacted to Kirkie's post in the thread Thoughts on attending mass at Santiago Cathedral with Like.
I have just attended, online, the midday transmission of mass. The botafumeiro did not swing, but that was not my goal to see. I often go in to the 07.30 transmission, but life took me to the midday one today. A bundle of priests and monaguillos...

GGrousedoctor replied to the thread Muxía or Finisterre for New Year’s?.First, both Muxia and Finisterre are worth visiting. Second, spending New Years at the end of the world sounds like a wonderful idea. If it were me, I’d walk to Finisterre first and time it such so as to experience New Year’s Eve there. With...
