I came through Ponderrada in early October this year. Take time to visit Ponferada castle, at least 2.5hours. Views going up to O...

    Gangs of Galicia on Netflix

    Massage in Santiago de Campostela?

    I also used Quintana for a leg and foot massage and found them good. They meet you on the square towards the back of the cathedral and take you around and downstairs to the treatment room. I'd recommend.

    Need a Pep Talk for the Climb from Combarro to Armenteira

    You are right to walk shorter days if you are tired and the weather is bad. You will better enjoy your arrival into Santiago when you are not totally exhausted. Its worth it all in the end.

    Rest day in SJPP?

    If you arrive on a Monday there is a very good market with local products. Also, a shorter walking day into SJPDP gives you a good afternoon and evening to explore without being too tired. Or you could book albergue Orrison or Borda, 9/10km for the next day and take your time leaving SJPDP and...

    Starting 25 April SJPDP - clothing choice

    Best wishes on your 1st camino. I'd suggest gloves like liner gloves and a neck cowl. Easy to put on and take off. Don't duplicate scarves and cowls to avoid unnecessary weight.
