Great explanation, I totally agree, it is your own camino and don't let others tell you any less! Know that you can start and if your not feeling it, you are in a most beautiful place to explore and still meet amazing people
I am praying for you to make the right choice. I sympathize with your ailments and longing to return to the camino. Can't say I've had your injuries, but.......had a brain tumor as a teen, hit by a car 12 yrs ago and in a wheelchair for 5 months, fractured my hip on 2nd camino and just...
I would definitely book a place in Burgos, as I arrived on a Sat afternoon in September and had no where to stay. I ended up in the campground, which was wonderful w/great facilities, but as I was starting out from here, it was a little nerve racking, not having a place to stay my first night...
I just came across this and felt it spoke of how your feeling, which I can totally relate to as I began my third camino solo in September. Just try to go with an open mind and breathe!

CF two months ago. I would have to say that one wasn't "better than the other, but different". I had amazing and
wonderful experiences on all 3. I did find that there was more...
I just stayed this past October in the newly opened "The House of Sandeman Hostel and Suites" over the bridge in Vila Nova de Guia. I would most definitely give them a 10! The cost for an 8 person mixed room was 20euro, including bkfst. Staff was exceptional, location great and right on the...
You are Truly an inspiration Penny and I pray for your health and a return to the Camino on His time! In the meantime, enjoy where He has you at the moment, Blessings
I Love reading all of these replies, as I leave one week from today and still not sure where I will actually begin! I have walked the CP twice w/spouse and then son, now this will be my "solo" camino. So I am really leaning toward getting from Lisbon to Burgos and starting there, cause I...
Wow, thinking the same thing! I've walked the Portuguese twice, w/my husband and then my 20 yo son. Was on a time constraint the first time and fractured my hip on my second and was out of commission by day 7. So now, I am walking my third w/two newbies who want to walk the Portuguese. I...
