Unweekends
American - planning 1st time Camino
- Time of past OR future Camino
- Sept 2025
I'm planning a 2 week vacation to Spain next year ( because that is the max amount of vacation time I can take in one block).
I wanted to walk the Camino for up to 7 days & then spend the other week touring Madrid & Barcelona. So for the 110 KM short Camino, I read it's best to do Sarria to Santiago.
Any planning tips for this trip? Any recommendation websites & apps to plan - airline tickets, ground transportation, lodging, tours etc? I'd like to keep this trip to $4000 or less per person if possible.
I will be flying from US leaving from San Antonio, TX. I will either be doing one of these two options:
Home to Barcelona (3 days there), then Barcelona to Madrid via train ( 3 days there), then Madrid to Sarria ( fly) - then walk camino 7 days & fly home from Santiago. Or Home to Sarria, then walk camino 7 days, Santiago to Madrid,l (3 days) then Madrid to Barcelona (3 days) & fly home from Barcelona.
Should I do the touring week 1st ( to warm up to the walking) or the Camino 1st?
Thanks!
