I (reluctantly) paid to check them in to the hold and have done so before. It is my understanding that they are still not allowed as hand luggage but I may be wrong. Would be very interested in other people’s experience
Really enjoyed the Ingles, I hope you do too. Arrived in SdC lunch time Thu 5th in brilliant sunshine. The pilgrim office was busy but super efficient and got through in no time. Pilgrim mass had the Botafumeiro and glorious singing

I feel able to join the discussion having read Perambulating Griffin's last paragraph. I had a nagging feeling about the Camino for many years and for various reasons was only able to undertake it aged 73 and widowed. So, by choice and circumstance alone, I took the easy option and pre - booked...
