[Gocamino] Walking in the Holy Year - Camino Travel Centre

[Johnnie Walker]

Hola

 

To celebrate the Holy Year I'm walking into Santiago from Ponferrada starting on 29th December. I expect severe weather but being Scottish and very careful all should be well.  I am using hostal and hotel accommodation along the route and I've used the Camino Travel Centre to make all of the arrangements: Bus from Madrid to Ponferrada and hostals and hotels booked every night with places identified that will be open to provide food - although we will have emergency supplies. They also provide a luggage forwarding service on the Camino Frances but we will not be using that.

 

Here they are: http://www.caminotravelcenter.com

 

I have been hugely impressed by the Camino Travel Centre's efficiency and friendliness in making all of the arrangements. I will report how the Camino Hogmanay progresses!

 

Seasons greetings and abrazos from London

 

John

> Walking in the Holy Year is special and the vibe is more like a celebration

> There is a Camino Travel Centre in Santiago that will book rooms for you,
> store excess luggage for up to 60 days, make train and flight reservations
> for you. For the larger hotels in the larger cities, they can book via their
> booking system with commission included. For the smaller pensions/hostels
> that are not in the booking system they add on a booking fee. So the price
> they quote you os the price of the room and their fee.
> Its worth having a look at if you are going to be walking one of the more
> popular routes. If you would like the contact details of the centre, please
> let me know.
