CP Spring 2024
(I'm sure this has been asked here before, but I couldn't find any previous threads in search - apologies if I missed something!)
I'm shoring up my travel plans for my upcoming CP this spring and it looks like I will have 3-4 days at the end of my walk once I reach Santiago before meeting family there and traveling to Madrid. I'm looking for suggestions on places to visit during those few days.
Of course, walking to Muxia is an idea. I walked to Fisterra two years ago after my CF. I don't especially want to walk those same first few days out of Santiago again, but I may take a bus to Hospital / Dumbria and walk to Muxia from there, and then perhaps walk from Muxia to Fisterra and return to Santiago. So that's an option. But as this will only be my second trip to Spain, I'm also wondering about the possibiliuty of staying in Santiago for four nights and using it as a base for day trips to other cities in the region.
I'm particularly interested in Ourense for the hot springs. Lugo and A Coruña are options as well, And I'm sure there are other towns and villages in the region that are worth a day trip from Santiago. To those who know the region better than I do: what are some of your favorite places near Santiago, particularly ones that aren't on the main CF or CP routes?
