Arrived this morning and completed the formalities. Spoke to a number of Peregrinos who had arrived earlier and, like me, they were surprised by the lack of clear waymarking into the city from the Portugese route - an assistant at 'Turismo' commented that "it has been mentioned before". Fortunately, a good sense of direction and conversational Spanish helped but is perhaps something the Junta de Galicia/turismo should look at.

Didn't detract from the pleasure of having fulfilled a long-held ambition. Thanks to various Forum contributors who provided advice from their personal experiences.

Cafe Tertulia later.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
Congratualtions, Mel!


The tea at the Tertulia is real tea...Enjoy!
And I hope you have some company there from the forum. If you post a photo, we'd love to see it!

Sean and I had a good natter about Camino experiences and 'life in general' - thanks Sean. No photo of Tertulia 'meeting' and because of non smart-phone technology, will be downloading photos when I get home. Will post if I feel they will be of interest and of any merit!
Didn't manage the tea but the white wine was very agreeable.
 
Muito parabéns Mel.

Estamos muito perto de Santiago !
Amanha estaremos en Padrón

Um abraço

Albertinho, Posso recomendar o restaurant Chef Rivera c/ Enlace Parque 7 Padron - encantadora sala de jantar e excelente comida.
Bom camino
