Hola,
We get on a plane in a week. It's a little hard to believe we are just around the corner from the beginning of out first Camino. We have made lists, checked and rechecked as much as we can think about, so now we just need to practice patience; this patience thing seems harder than we had figured.

I am also a week away. I will be arriving to Madrid the 6th and then flying to Biarritz for the train to SJPP on the 7th. Plan is to start my first camino on my Birthday on September 8th!
So excited and at the same time a bit nervous of the unknown! But this forum has prepared me!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Happy and excited for you! I fly out on Sunday and can't wait to get started.
 
I'm also leaving soon nervously excited arrive in St Jean on the 14th start my journey the 17th. Keep packing and repacking changing my reason to do so each time.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
