First timers, leaving from Toronto April 17th. Flying to Barcelona where we will make our way to SJPP. Our plan is to take it slow and enjoy every moment :D Getting pretty excited. Luisa and Paul

Wow, that is so exciting! I wish you a very fun, happy, enlightening and safe journey.

Can I ask how you prepared for this trek? Have you been walking kilometres in the last few months to prepare physically?

I too am from Toronto. My trek is still a few years away but I am already so excited to begin this journey of preparation.

Cheers.
 
If you have a bit of time in Barcelona, you might check out the monastery of Montserrat . . . amazing place and the destination for a fair number of smaller pilgrimages. Some people even start there for Santiago, joining the Camino Frances at Puenta la Reina or Pamplona.

Buen Camino!
