Hi Rasmus, Thought I would let you know how we found our accommodation you booked for us! Thank you for the last minute booking from Astorga to Santiago. It was so good to know we did not have to keep phoning places ahead and to be able to trust we had good places to stay in. All of the bookings ... Read moreyou made for us were good to excellent. Most of the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful, especially when you consider we did not speak Spanish.
General remarks: This was a very well organised trip. Staff at Spain is More were always very helpful and responded to e-mails very quickly. The documentation was good and arrived in good time to be used during my planning before departure. Hotels, baggage transfers and transfer to Sarria: All ho... Read moretels and baggage arrangements were good. I particularly liked the charming (and helpful) staff at Hostal Casa Benilde in Palas de Rei, the comfortable room and good food at Hotel O Pino (especially the egg & bacon breakfast !), and the whole experience at the Hotel in Santiago. The hotel in Santiago was not only ideally placed adjacent to the old part of the city, but very close to Plaza Galicia, from where I had to catch an early bus to return to the airport. The hotel in Arzua was the least comfortable, with no hot water early in the morning and thin walls between rooms. My impression was not helped by the fact that my room overlooked a road building activity, which was noisy and periodically shook the building from 15.00 until 19.30. There were no problems with my taxi from Lavacolla to Sarria and all the baggage transfers were efficient. Excursion to Finisterre: This day trip was excellent. I appreciated the fact that we were a small group (9 people, I think), in a small mini-coach. The guide, Laura, was first class and translated everything into English for my benefit. She also answered all my questions and took the trouble to find additional information for me. We were not rushed at any time, but had 4 stops at interesting places, and saw some nice scenery while travelling.
Hello Rasmus, We have returned from our fantastic trip to Northern Spain and want to thank you VERY VERY much for organizing for us. Everything went most smoothly according to plan. The distances between stops were perfect allowing for driving times and sightseeing times. The accommodations were f... Read moreantastic. What fun it was to stay in an ancient palace, monastery and inn. The ultra modern boutique hotels were very tastefully and functionally designed. And all of these were perfectly located in or near the old town centers which made things so easy. Having the train tickets already in hand was also an advantage and the hotels were located convenient to the stations as well. You thought of everything and we want to thank you a million times for making our trip so memorable. Cheers, Donna
A very special setup! A high-energy ride and tour de force in the Ria de Arousa. The feeling is very familiar, the touch very personal, the atmosphere very authentic, the nature beautiful, the food great! All together like being on tour with your good friends, who have done everything to impress you... Read more. At times almost reaching crazy over-ecstatic heights. 10 hours in the kayak each day (breaks included) combined with overnight stays in dorms and tents drains your energy and your batteries will be low at the end of the week! Happy but tired!
The Pilgrim’s Mass is every day in Santiago. As a symbol of welcome, mass begins with a reading of the list the pilgrims who have arrived in Santiago and that have claimed their Compostela within the last 24 hours. Besides their names their nationality and the place from which each pilgrim began, his/her pilgrimage is also read.
