    Bike wrapping for train from Santiago to Ferrol.

    I've booked a bus direct to Santander. But this is worth knowing if the bus station has no bike bags. Thanks.

    Bike wrapping for train from Santiago to Ferrol.

    Thanks. I have ridden the Ingles before Covid and from Finisterre to Ferrol last year. I was considering the ride to Betanzos, not particularly because I wanted to but to get the MD you mention to Ferrol. The bus looks a possible option, allowing me more time on my ride to Santiago to relax and...

    Bike wrapping for train from Santiago to Ferrol.

    Yes, direct would be nice but SdC to Santander is an Alvia train which, as far as I can tell, require the bike to be disassembled and wrapped. Similarly, SdC to Ferrol is an Alvia. I like the convenience of the FEVE and being able to wheel on. It is slow and scenic but I've done it a few times...

    Bike wrapping for train from Santiago to Ferrol.

    I am currently riding from Lisbon, arriving in Santiago around the end of the month. I need to get myself and my bike to Santander for a ferry. I don't have time to ride to Ferrol, where I will get the FEVE to Santander. Do I need to disassemble my bike and wrap it for the journey between...

    Luggage transfer out of Saint Jean PdP?

    I'm a 70 year old with bad knees and a heavily-laden bike. I left London about four weeks ago and will get to Saint Jean PdP in about a week. The first section out of SJPdP looks brutal: 1100m ascent in 20km. I can't ride this with my bike as is, and it will be a long push/hike-a-bike. But I...

    To sello or not to sello, that is the question

    If I'm doing the complete CF, is one sello a day enough (to get into albergues) until I'm 200 km (I will by cycling) from CS?

    UK - For travellers who may need to exit Schengen zone for a short time

    Is it necessary to leave Schengen to utilise the agreement? I thought you could apply to extend from within the country you wish to remain in for up to 90 days at a customs and immigration office. (Mind you, leaving might work well for me, to return to the UK for my mother's and my brother's...

    Best way of converting $CA to Euros

    I generally load up my credit card with cash from my Canadian account so that I can get cash advances without interest charges.

    Starting in Gibraltar tomorrow

    Go to https://rock2santiago.wordpress.com/m-and-as-trip/ There is a follow button at the bottom right of the page when you are scrolled to the top of the page. (It disappears as you read/scroll down the page.) HTH.

    Do not believe everything you read

    I presume the opposite. Always give way to walkers. Not such a sacrifice when you're old and slow.

    After Santiago?

    Thank you! Should I have a separate credencial for the onward "reverse" trip? Would such a credencial be available in Santiago or only towards the start of the normal direction?

    After Santiago?

    This raises another question for me. After arrival in Santiago, do I need a new credencial to continue to Portugal? Presumably, that is easier to source at the beginning of the normal direction than in Santiago?

    Cell phone use in Spain

    I'm not familiar with iPhones so I dont know about esim compatibility but esims don't require a physical card or slot.

    Any bike shops in SJPDP?

    I'm flying with my bike from Canada to London; the bike costs an extra C$50. (I presume flying to France would be similar in cost, but I have family to visit in the UK) I'll set off for my camino, riding from London, in early April. I'd rather have the 'hassle' of packing the bike and the small...

    After Santiago?

    I will be leaving London by bicycle in mid April, riding slowly, to Paris, then following one of the old French pilgrim routes to the Francés route and on to Santiago. There is a possibility of continuing to Porto, or along some other Camino. Is it allowed to stay in albergues when travelling...
