sarria to finisterre, or ponferrada to sarriaHi,
I'm going to walk some of the Camino for my first time. My knowledge about the camino, the routes, terrain is minimal. However, the Camino France seems like a good start, but I know very little about it or the alternatives.
I have eight days for walking with a day for travel either end. My fitness is pretty good and I would like to feel some challenge from the walk. I'd also like to mix and chat with other walkers along the way. My flight arrives into Santiago on the evening of September 4th and I'm thinking I'll take the bus to Sarria. From what I can tell that's about five days walking, or is that too generous? With the extra day or two I'm considering starting out a bit further. Would you be able to help me decide where to start, maybe allowing for a rest day somewhere sociable along the way and to have a day in Santiago. All feedback welcome, Tom
Hi Tom, Ponferrada would be a option and Sarria to Finistere. Some pelgrims here already stated this. You will make a good choice. Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.Hi,

No one in those two places lists credenciales for sale.Will I be able to pick up a credencial at either of this two starting points?
I think it is impressive. It is a bit more impressive starting at O Cebreiro.It sounds like the scenery along the Sarria-Santiago stretch is not that impressive.
Yes. There are a half-dozen buses each day.is it easy to then travel back to Santiago by public transport from Finisterre?
