Really convenient to be driven 10km out and dropped off, where we could start walking without having to think. Our guide gave us some good information before and during the trail, and met us with the surprise and graciously took some pictures of us at the end. Despite the pouring rain, I enjoyed the experience. However, given that entrance to the cathedral is free and we were not given tickets to the museum, I would say this activity is a little overpriced.

We were taken about 10 km away to Lavacolla where we started our journey. We get som suggestions fron the guide Elena and walk to Joy Hill. There the fog was down and we could see the Santiago Cathedral. Elena met us there explained few interesting stories. And we waled to Santiago further. All it took 4 hours including vidit to St James (sw Jakub in polih) grave in the cathedral
