<P> <BR></P>Dear Gina </DIV>
<P>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</P>
<P>Buen camino!</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Hello: It looks like my friend and I will have to cut our trip short
<DIV></DIV>>now, and I was wondering, if any of you knew the closest beginning point
<DIV></DIV>>to accomplish at least 100km? I believe this is the shortest walk to
<DIV></DIV>>accomplish the Compostela correct?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>thank you,
<DIV></DIV>>Gina
