    Sarria - Santiago in November, Help for a brokenhearted fat guy

    I loved the Sarria to Santiago walk - filled with enchanted forests. If you want to take it easy on your first day of walking, there is a Casa Rural about 8 km out of Sarria called CASA DE CARMEN. A warm, welcoming environment. A lovely family.

    Here in California there is the ubiquitous Shell Gas Stations......which - after walking the camino - love seeing.

    Most bizarre question(and most misunderstood) ever asked about the Camino

    Spanish people would not think of drinking coffee on the run. It is to be sipped slowly, preferably with another person, while enjoying good conversation. I once made the mistake of asking for a coffee to go and the bar tender looked at me uncomprehendingly. The look on his face said it all.

    Why are you walking so slow, or did you train for this?

    No one walked slower then I did. I walked for 50 minutes (slowly) and stopped for 10-15 minutes every hour - .........all.... day.... long.......... At first I just laid down on the side of the camino, however, I soon found out that this caused great alarm to my fellow peregrinos who thought...

    How Fit Were You at the Start?

    No One was less prepared than me. I was overweight, had done no physical preparation, did not even look at a Camino map before I left and never bought one along the way. I made it to Santiago one step at a time. So will you.

    Ryan Air dep. Santiago to MAD arr. T1 at 9:20, Delta to US Depart 11:00 (T4), realistic?

    Take the night train from Santiago (leaves around 11pm). Pay for a bed. Sleep all night. Arrive rested at Atocha in Madrid around 8 am. Take the Metro from Atocha to Barajas. Very easy.

    LIVE from the Camino Crisis...

    I also was miserable 8 days into my camino. Granon was a healing place.

    LIVE from the Camino Is finding accommodation on the Camino Frances, becoming too stressful?

    OK. What's the worst that can happen? There is no room at the inn. That's neither good nor bad. Should that happen, stay open. You cannot imagine what amazing thing might occur. You're on the Camino!

    A metaphor for life

    Great message. It makes me think that I, too, can do it at age 70.
