    Worth skipping parts of the French Camino for Finisterre?

    Oh I missed this, that’s good to know. Then definitely I’m not skipping anything from now.

    Worth skipping parts of the French Camino for Finisterre?

    Thanks so so much everyone. I will stop thinking about it, become present, and walk the rest of the French route as you suggest. My goal was to get to Santiago on the French route, so here we go. Thanks for the reminder to ask that question again @Tincatinker! My mind started to wander off and...

    Worth skipping parts of the French Camino for Finisterre?

    Hi pilgrims! I am walking the French Camino (I’m at O Cebreiro) and am thinking of skipping some parts between Sarria and Santiago in order to go to Finisterre instead. Would you say it could be worth it? This is my first Camino so I have no idea. :) My current thinking (as I was told) is that...

    Injured my back and need to shorten my walk - which parts can be shortened (by bus...)?

    Thank you! Yes. I am managing to walk almost all of the route so far, taking a taxi or mostly hitchhiking every here and there for the short difficult bits (descent to Molinaseca or the ascent to Fonceban) and then walking the rest as I would normally. I manage to keep up with other pilgrims...

    Injured my back and need to shorten my walk - which parts can be shortened (by bus...)?

    Wanted to say a big thank you for your help - I visited a doctor today in Astorga and was able to get a very slow move on on Camino. :) I hope it will keep on getting better. You guys were right, the Medical Center in Astorga was great and well organized and I was out in half hour. The doctor...

    Injured my back and need to shorten my walk - which parts can be shortened (by bus...)?

    No I haven’t considered medical help, but I think it’s a good idea. I don’t speak any Spanish however and worry that might be a problem? What was your experience? Have you done that while walking Camino? I am near Astorga, I could see if there’s a hospital there that could help. I went to a...

    Injured my back and need to shorten my walk - which parts can be shortened (by bus...)?

    Hi all! I would really appreciate your help. I started my Camino in Leon and unfortunately injured my back (I think I pulled it :( ) so now I’m forced to wait and heal around Astoria for a couple of days, which means I will shorten my walk by 2 days to make it to Santiago in time. (Btw I wish I...
