    Re: Galego and Spanish on the Camino Frances

    I would probably go one step further and say that Galego is the parent language of Portuguese.

    Bus from A Coruña to Ferrol?

    Yes, or taxi/Uber. On the main street opposite the park, in front of the Librería Arenas IIRC.

    Via Francigena vs Via Francesco

    I have not walked the Via Francigena but I have walked the Via di Francesco. The VdF has more elevation change; 1000m up/down in a single stage is not uncommon and IIRC from La Verna to Rome it is about 14-15,000m of ups and downs. Honestly, I think that would be the main...

    Editing of posts turned off?

    Editing is not possible for those with very few posts (IIRC the post limit is 6, and you have 5). The reason for this was a that a while ago there were bots that were messing things up.

    Only one day left? That flew by! I'm sure the adrenaline will kick in tomorrow to get you to the finish line. Failing that, meds ;) Enjoy your last day, it's a nice entry into Santiago with hardly any suburbs.

    Message from the Roncesvalles albergue - a difficult day.

    Compostela Question

    Unfortunately not. To qualify for the compostela via the VE you need to walk continuously (boat excepted) from Vigo or O Porriño, if I recall correctly.

    3 languages on VdlP stone pillars

    Fantastic sleuthing all, and what a great initiative by the authorities to evoke the convivencia that existed in that part of Spain during the Middle Ages. ✝️ 🕎 ☪️
