- Time of past OR future Camino
- Interested in walking the Camino in Sep 2014. Won't have the time to take off from work and family to do the entire Frances route, so looking at Sarria to Santiago de Compostela.
I'm still waffling between starting my trek in O' Cebreiro or Samos. I would really like to stay the night in the Samos Monastery, but O' Cebreiro looks beautiful and I don't think it necessarily makes sense to make Samos a stay over if I start in O' Cebreiro. Also, I'm a bit intimidated to start my with such a descent coming out of O' Cebreiro. Not sure I should take that on without first getting my legs.
I would love to hear the thoughts of others who are more familiar with the terrain. I've read differing descriptions...2,000 ft over 3 miles, 2,000 ft over 6 miles...not sure exactly though it looks like the steepest descent is near the end before Triacastela.
Would appreciate any feedback offered. Thanks!
