We were en route to the last stop of Andy’s escorted tour and on the way we called in to Combarro, a picturesque coastal village with it’s tourist trap shops scattered along a couple of streets clinging to a hillside…

After Frodo’s scary adventure working his way through impossible cobbled streets in Mondoñedo, we eventually arrived at our campsite at Santiago de Compostela. This was a terraced campsite with each avenue of pitches being terraced above those below. The pitches…
