Cathedral
enjoy the winding streets of the old town but make sure you don't queue for hours for the cathedral if you are carrying a backpack... they will not let you in. Sharing tapas with friends in Los Caracoles

Arriving Soon
I just bought my plane ticket to arrive in Santiago on the 30th of this month to begin my pilgrimage(English Route). From the airport, where do I take the bus to Ferrol? Also, what should I plan for when I get back 5 days later?
Re: Arriving Soon
It seems your route has been trodden before!!:

See if that is any use (or the rest of that board), or this about buses:

Re: Arriving Soon
Regarding the second part of your question it depends how long you have. Santiago is quite nice to potter about in for a day or so (obviously the cathedral etc), but if you have more time (and legs) get off to A Coruña, which has a great old town on the waterfront. There is the Torre de Hercules and a great military museum right next to the San Carlos Garden, which holds the grave of Sir John Moore, if you like your English/Spanish history! If not the scenery is great anyway. Cape Finisterre/Cabo Fisterra is worth a visit just to say you've been to the one-time end of the world. Lugo also is not far away - again another great old town surrounded by the best preserved Roman walls in Western Europe I believe.
Re: Arriving Soon
There is a 4 part TV documentary "Europe in the Middle Ages" and was put out on DVD here in Australia by SBS. One of the sections dealt with a Monk who walked from Scotland to Santiago as penance for accidently destroying a book. He walked back with a new copy of the same tome - as you struggle through those 5 days, think about that Monk - LOL Amazing feet.
Re: Arriving Soon
Thanks to you all for your assistance. I don't know what I'd do without virtual tourist!!
