Beginning of May</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>If I had just 2 weeks available to walk, I would start from
Ponferrada and do it as a single stretch into Santiago (205 km). With proper
spacing this is only about 9 miles per day average - a relatively easy
schedule, although it involves one long climb. I can't tell you much about the
music other than that there was a music school in Arca, next to the refugio,
in 2000. There is also an abundance of buskers in Santiago itself.
