A or B?

[auburnfive]

Hello
Walking with a few friends who will be new to the Camino. Due to time constraints
A. Burgos ->Leon, then bus to Sarria -> Santiago
B. Burgos -> Sahagún, then train/bus to OCebriero -> Santiago.

Or another combo I haven’t thought of, we have 2 weeks.

I have done the segment from Leon -> Santiago, and want to walk at least some of the meseta.

Thank you, advice appreciated!

If your friends want a Compostela in SdC, then B is the selection of choice from that particular menu.

Ditto...choice numero B will work well.
Actually, there really is no bad choices when on holiday in Spain.

Both A and B involve walking from Sarria to Santiago, and thus qualify for a compostela. I would vote for A, partly because the transportation options might be better to Sarria than to O Cebreiro!

I must be missing something In B, it looks like going from Burgos to Sahagun, then busing from Sahagun to O Cebreiro, then continuing the Camino from O Cebreiro to Santiago de Compostela ?

Yes, B is good for a compostela. But so is A - which is walking from Burgos to Leon, bus to Sarria, and then walking to Santiago.

How about Burgos -> walk 3 days on the Meseta then bus to Sarria -> Finisterre

Meseta, Compostela and Atlantic Ocean!

I like this option.

Buen camino.

Surpringly the connections from Sahagún to Ocebriero are very good. Hadn’t thought about going to Finnesterre, but will put that on the table. I do have great memories of Ocebriero...

OK, after some sleep I now see why I was missing something In my muddled mind, I was substituting 'Sarria' with 'Finesterra' as to geographical location.

Don't ask me to explain how my thinking got so rearranged; some things are just a mystery.

A little more adventurous and with you seeing even more than you have before is to make the second stretch the Invierno from Ponferada. Plane to Madrid, train to Sahagun, walk to Leon or Astorga, public transit to Ponferada.

I haven't done it but it may be an option for you.

If you've done Leon to Santiago, an option might be to go Burgos to Leon and then instead of heading to Sarria, heading to another Camino: the Ingles or Tui for the last 100 km of the Camino Portugues, or some other one.

Wrong old mate

B. Burgos -> Sahagún, then train/bus to OCebriero -> Santiago.

The last days into Burgos you can do without
Would try and stay one day before O Cebriero as the walk past Ruitelan / La Faba is wonderful and the complete opposite to the flatness of the first week.
