Hola Peregrinos,
Just a quick follow-up for anyone interested. In the end I went for the Camino to Santiago- them bones just kept calling. Muxia-Finisterre-Oliveroa-Negreira-SDC. Great walk, some longish days at 33k. Extended trip to 9 days- 2 in Santiago to soak in the cathedral, old town...
No worries! Found one- Thank you Carl your your input. On reflection, I am going for the Camino Dos Faros. Avoiding big cities, queues etc. Sticking with rugged coast and more time solo. I've already got a Compostela, and I can always return. Thanks again everyone for your valuable insights.
Whoa, now that throws a spanner in the works. Have extended trip two days so will re-consider. The ramble on coast looks amazing, though a part of me feels I should do my duty and go to Santiago- the religious aspect requires some bonum ardum.
Thank you everyone for your insightful input. Have decided to go from Muxia. Arr June 30th. Solid short walk with enough time to get back to La Coruna. OzAnnie-you are right- I will certainly be back again!
Hello again, apologies for another question.
Am I right in thinking both Ferrol-Santiago and Muxia-Santiago are 5 days?
Could anyone comment on the aesthetic differences betwen these two paths?
Trying to determine a solid course given my timeframe.
Awesome- Gronze it is. I know Spanish, so no problem there. Just need those first leads! I remember on my first walk, I showed up in Irun with nothing but an address for the albergue. It's a testament to the Camino's incredible infrastructure of kindness, you can trustfall into it. I'm off on...
Thank you Tincatinker!
I appreciate your quick and very knowedgable responses. That gives me enough information to go on for now. Am a bit torn on the Compostela- don't really need it but then again it gives a formal recognition to the occasion, which is at least good to show the children...
Hello Tincatinker,
Many thanks for your reply.
I've been given a rare window to return to the Camino- only seven days in this case, which for me is huge, given family obligations. I'm trying to find a good balance of covering good walking distance, making it to Santiago, and getting back to La...
Hola Peregrinos!
I've got one week landing in/flying from La Coruna. Could I make it to Finesterre first then to Santiago? Or better to play it safe- straight to Santiago then amble back via Finisterre. I've already got certificate (only 75k from La Coruna) from previous, so that's not a big...
