I finished the Camino Frances in October 2021. It was a calling I had to fulfill, ever since I dipped my toe in the Camino in 2018 (where I started in Sarria and made a fool of myself). This time, I completed... the best thing I have ever done.
Now I am home. This is where everyone says the...
Good morning, everyone.
To the point, I have glaucoma.
I have managed it well for over three years now with latanaprost drops. However, these drops have to be refrigerated, which is not easy on the Camino. When I walked the Camino in 2018, it was only from Sarria to SDC, and it was late...
Three months ago, I posted from the Camino. I was suffering. I was in pain. I had thrown out my back and gotten sick from some parasite in the water at one of the villages. I felt alone; I had started in Sarria, and it seemed like I was a rookie coming in at the end of a movie.

I will be walking Sarria to Santiago and on to Finisterre-Muxia at the end of October. My first time on the Camino. I have a question about the albergues. I will want to charge my phone/camera every day because it has a mediocre battery. I have a charge battery for emergencies, but it will need...
My first time on the Camino, I wanted to start small. I'm walking from Sarria to Santiago, then on to Finisterre. I find the best schedule for me is to fly into Madrid at the start, flying out of Santiago de Compostela at the end.
My questions to the group are:
How do I get from Madrid to...
