The Catholic Truth Society in the UK (you can easily find them on-line) have a small pamphlet about the Camino. It costs about £3 or a bit less and is very helpful in this regard. Lots of ideas, prayers, suggestions that can help to make your Camino more spiritual. Obviously it is geared towards...
Just you wait, you think you have a problem now... The camino is a contagious disease and it sounds as if you are incubating it rapidly. There is no known cure and itt regularly recurs. All you can do then is plan another trip and another and another and another...

Just to throw my two penny worth into the mix :lol: for what they are worth... Have you thought about the English route? You have the choice of 3 days to Santiago from La Coruna or 5 days walking from Ferrol. For my money, the latter with its Estuary/river views and interior scenery must make...
