    Preparing for 2025

    Hi, just a suggestion, but if you have time maybe walk to Fisterra via Muxia. It's a splendid route! Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    First Camino (Aug-Sept 2024)

    A two week walk from León to SdC is wonderful. Savour every moment as it will seem to be over before you know it. Plenty of sound advice on this forum about managing the walk. I would definitely recommend visiting Muxia and/or Fisterra if you have time. Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    I would love to hear your first thoughts...

    I have walked that section of the CF 4 times (only in Spring mind you) and loved it every time. Rabanal del Camino is one of my favourite places. Be prepared for all kinds of weather, i.e. bring appropriate clothing. Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    Camino Frances

    Hi Ruben, If you are planning to walk back to SDC from Fisterra, and you have a spare day, I highly recommend you walk via Muxia. It's a beautiful place. There is also another 0km marker there. Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    Introduction

    Hi Pam, there are some setts to negotiate in the early stages of the walk from Porto. I use sticks almost all the time on Camino, no matter what the terrain, and find them very useful in many ways. I can also highly recommend wearing compression tights to reduce leg fatigue. Buen Camino. 🚶‍♂️

    Introduction

    Hi Pam. Porto to SdC via the Central Route is a fine introduction to the Camino. Since you have no time constraints might I suggest that you fly into Lisboa and spend some time there before taking the train up to Porto to commence your walk. I also suggest you walk to Fisterra via Muxia - an...
