    To be lost on the Camino

    Wow. A very well-told exciting story. I would have panicked. Sometimes I still do when in the middle of nowhere and there is not a single soul in sight other than me and some companions. I pride myself in being able to navigate a map but there have been several times (not on the Camino) when I...

    Sarria to Santiago an honest account from a first time pilgrim

    I didn't think of that but you are right. The way we see the final 100km is very different based on where we start the walk. For a first-timer who has no prior impressions, I would say don't be hesitant to start from Sarria. I still wish I can do the longer walks, whether from SJPP or...

    Sarria to Santiago an honest account from a first time pilgrim

    I too was worried about everything I read on how crowded it was. The first 2 days, we would only cross paths with other pilgrims maybe every 10 mins..although we soon found out that it was because we started 2 hrs later than others do. We had pre-booked accommodation so there was not much worry...

    Walking the Camino in the afternoon

    Walking the Camino in the afternoon

    The last few kilometers into Portomarin are more open roads. Personally, I wouldn't walk that late all alone. Most pilgrims will already have finished for the day by the time you start walking, so less chances of being near one on the way. Quite different compared to walking early morning at...

    What can you do in the Cathedral now

    I suggest going early in the morning to hug the statue which is above the altar. I saw a lot of people going there before, during, after mass but this means you have less time to spend. Obviously, it is only a statue. On the other hand, after many days of walking and arriving there in one piece...

    Camino Pilgrim from the Philippines

    The common stages between Sarria to Santiago is: - Sarria to Portomarín ~ 21km - Portomarín to Palas de Rei ~ 25km - Palas de Rei to Arzúa ~ 30km - Arzúa to O Pedrouzo ~ 20km - O Pedrouzo to Santiago ~ 20km Or you can choose to split the 3rd day to 2 if 30km is too much for 1 day. Very doable...

    Slow walk

    We did the same walk recently and split the typical day 3 of Palas de Rei-Arzúa to 2 days walking so you can get a bit of easy days in between. Sarria-Portomarín Portomarín-Palas de Rei Palas de Rei-Melide Melide-Arzúa Arzúa-O Pedrouzo O Pedrouzo-Santiago We stayed in mostly private...
