NIt is simple and the simplicity is waking up, putting your things in a pack and walking much of the day. The only things you need to think about are remembering your phone charger and maybe where you want to stop for breaks. Sarria to Santiago is...

NI think in your case, I would probably start in Tui or Vigo, on the Portugues. There is a lot of infrastructure to support a first time pilgrim. There is a good pilgrim community. But there are less of the organized groups that many find...

NNorthernwalker replied to the thread Camino Start decision.Great insight, thank you. I do travel with a bit of anxiety but that hasn't stopped me from going to many places around the world. The length of time of 30+ days would be very difficult. I would like to do a week or maybe 10 days at a time. For...

NI really think that the danger of crowds is oversold. I walked the busiest part of this section last year, at the busiest time of year and didn't find crowds overwhelming. In fact, I had plenty of solitude and mostly had only one or two other...

NIf it is your first Camino, you will have nothing else to compare to it really. Yes, it is crowded in June, especially in the mornings. The way to avoid this is to stay at someplace "in between". Arrive in Sarria mid-afternoon by bus or early...

I am coming from Canada so lots of logistics involved. I am wondering which would be the best first time...

NNorthernwalker replied to the thread Taxi to Orisson on Day 1.Good points. I won't be able to complete more than a week, not due to the arthritis, I just don't have the luxury of 4 or 5 weeks to walk the Camino. So I am interested in stages over the next 2 or 3 years adding longer time when it permits. I'm...

NAlbergues are getting stricter each year so those who have done it before were lucky. Their website says no... so what I would do is book lodging in SJPP, spend the night THERE, then take the shuttle up to Orisson next morning for coffee, and...

NNorthernwalker replied to the thread SJPDP vs Sarria for Newby.I do plan on returning, however as with everything we can't predict the future. I chose Pamplona for getting back to Madrid by plane for my return to Canada. Plus I plan on spending a couple of days there to visit, see the town etc. My Camino is...
