    Best 7-day Section

    Leon to Sarria, but take the bus out of Leon to La Virgin. I loved this stretch, beautiful scenery and such special sites: Hospital de Orbigo, Astorga, Rabanal, Cruz de Ferro, Ponferrada, Cebriero and the monastery at Samos. For me this part is the best of the best! And Leon is easy to get to...

    Must see or favorite sites

    It’s only cheating if you think it is. People will say things like “it’s your Camino!” Then look down their noses at you for things like taking cabs or not carrying your pack. It’s Your Way! Don’t let the rules and restrictions of others reflect on your walk. Enjoy! Sounds like a great idea.

    Advice: Restart Camino from SJPP or from where I left off 5 years ago?

    I had a similar situation. I had to stop in Fromista due to shin splints, I took about 5 days off then took the train to Sarria and walked very slowly from there.

    Rest day between Leon and SdC

    My first camino I planned several ‘rest’ days in cities that I wanted to check out. I didn’t really rest, I couldn’t resist the urge to check out the sites and go into tourist mode and I was even more tired at the end of the day. For me that didn’t really feel right, I didn’t like the blurred...

    Is it good to sing and dance during Camino de Santiago?

    On the first day of my first camino There was a woman in my hostel in SJPP who asked if she could walk with me. We wound up walking several days together and it wasn’t until the second day we discovered we both studied flamenco dance. The first dance they teach is called sevillanas, more a folk...

    Where to have two rest days

    I like the idea of doing very short days as rest days. My shortest ever was 4 km followed by a lovely day in Arzua. I’ve tried doing ‘rest days’, staying put for two nights In larger cities, the problem was I never rested. I probably walked more and the transition from pilgrim to tourist just...
