1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The ease of it all. Luggage transfer was a dream! Nice hotel/inn choices. Even the most basic ones were clean and safe. The highlight was staying in the manor house in Sabenche the first night. What a unique experience! The hosts were wonderful. The bus trip to Finistere was wonderful, too.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Getting to Santiago to the Cathedral after a long and sometimes demanding walk.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
For those in their sixties I would suggest a walk duration of 11-12 days from Porto to Santiago.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Local people benefitted certainly from the additional business they got from us. We were extremely careful to respect the environment we were in and were generally impressed with the level of cleanliness and respect shown to it.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
This was a wonderful vacation, with all arrangements in place. The operator did a fantastic job of managing logistics, getting us hotels which were brilliantly located and which carried their own history (in a number of cases).Holiday Reviews
