    Thinking of starting in O' Cebreiro

    Annie, I am planning to fly out 8/30 and returning 9/10. I don't have tons of vacation time so I was thinking I'd take advantage of labor day. I'd love to grab a cup of coffee and get some tips from a veteran...thanks for the offer! :) If I can figure out how to do so I can PM you my email...

    Thinking of starting in O' Cebreiro

    Mspath, at 74 you certainly are an inspiration! My father just turned 70 and I would love to do this with him, but don't know if he's up to it due to some health concerns (diabetes). Actually he'd love to do it, but my mother has sort of put the kibosh on it. Won't be able to enjoy the views...

    Thinking of starting in O' Cebreiro

    I'm still waffling between starting my trek in O' Cebreiro or Samos. I would really like to stay the night in the Samos Monastery, but O' Cebreiro looks beautiful and I don't think it necessarily makes sense to make Samos a stay over if I start in O' Cebreiro. Also, I'm a bit intimidated to...

    Class of 2014

    Hello All, I am planning to walk the Camino starting the end of August. I will have about 12 days total including travel from the west coast of the U.S. I'm thinking that will allow me 6-7 days of walking time? I would prefer to start before Sarria as to not draw the stares and judgments of...
