closest point - 100km

[John Topping]

Hi Kay,
It's not long now just 28 sleeps before John and I leave.  I'm sorry we haven't been able to catch up with you, but we've been really busy.  Perhaps when we come back.  I have appreciated all you wise advice.  
Best Wishes,
Marion & John
Tauranga.

  Dear Gina 
  To receive the Compostela you do have to walk the last 100 k. I would suggest Sarria (114k from Santiago) a reasonably large town with an interesting modern refugio. It is built into the side of a cliff, with one wall being rock.  Do check the way out while it is still   light. I left Sarria in the early hours of the morning before it was properly light and remember getting lost and ending up in a small cemetery! Ferreiros is  (according to the English confraternity guide)   exactly 100 kilometres but is smaller (although it does have a refugio) and might be harder to get to

  Buen camino!
