Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

The Aussies will commiserate with the Kiwis on them not winning the rugby and the Kiwis will commiserate with the Aussies on having their best cricket team beaten by POMS. (Well done ladies!)
Seriously though, hot an dry in Iberia. Rehydrate.
Don't hog the boardwalks.
The coastal scenery is fabulous - stop and admire.
Portuguese drivers - you'll soon learn.
Baiona, Redondela and Pontevedra are all nice stops; Vigo and Padron (in my opinion) are not.
Have a great trip.

Oooh, I loved Vigo. We had the best time there. Perhaps because we were there as tourists, not pilgrims.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Yes, and nice to see a Spanish town that seems to have a vigorous economy - car manufacturing, ship building, and the biggest fishing port in Europe (so we were told by a local).

I would put in a vote for staying at the monastery in Herbon rather than stopping in Padron. But that might be the middle of a stage for cyclists.

You will win new friends among the walkers if each of you have bells on your bikes and use them when approaching walkers.
Enjoy Portugal, my wife and I will certainly return there again as we both loved it.

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

Beware of the Portuguese drivers. They drive fast and very close to the shoulder of the road they also drive on the right side of the road not on the left. When they are not in their cars they are very friendly and helpful and many speak English very well. Enjoy the wonderful food too.
Safe travels and Bom Caminho!

I enjoyed the true tourist town Baiona, its beach and castle. At the nearby town Ramallosa, there is an Apostle Sisters convent, a private room for 10 euros, beautiful facilities and yards! The old town center in Vigo is beautiful, so are the isla Cies (by ferry). Enjoy!
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
