It’s getting real now! Flights are all booked as is the accommodation for the start and end of the walk. We’re off in the first week of May, flying to Porto then getting the Alsa bus to Valenca. The plan is to walk to Santiago de Compostela, arriving on the Friday afternoon. A late bus from SdC on the Saturday gets us back to Porto ready for an early Sunday morning flight home.
We’ll be walking between 15-24km a day, some days will be quite easy, a couple have a reasonably large ascent/descent. We’re planning on staying in hotels rather than hostels and we’ll book these as we go. We’ve also decided to carry our gear rather than use a luggage transfer company so that means packing light!
