camino bug!

[jim garrity]

Its happening again- the urge to get back to the camino! Have attempted the malaga to santiago route twice - both unsuccessful due to heat issues! Am getting this pang to return for a third time - any feedback would be much appreciated!

Although many believe a third time is a charm....I'm not so sure.

Somewhere I also heard that, if you keep doing the exact same things expecting a different result...well!!!

Consider this: It's obvious you like the southern approaches...well, why not start in Lisbon. When I did the CP I started on the beach in Faro. I had a week at a resort, but two days into my stay...the Camino called. I immediately got on a bus and rode, past Lisbon, to Oporto. More beaches and cooler temps.
Bom Caminho,
Arn

... or you could walk from the Algarve right up the coast. There are marked trails there now...

Hi Jim, Must be some sort of magic happens on the Camino, it amazes me the number of people that keep going back year after year. I will be doing my first Camino in September, so I will be interested to see if I catch the same "bug"!

Hi George,
I am hoping to start from Malaga at the end of March – same time as last year’s start on the Levante. I can’t firm up my plans just yet as there are a few things in the background that have to be resolved.
Perhaps we’ll meet again – which would be great.

Well I've booked my flight to Malaga for the 7th of April, so its the Mozarabe for me this year. I guess I'll check in with the Malaga amigos and start walking on the 8th.
Basic plan is Malaga Merida Zamora then decide! I remember last year after Zamora there was quite a lot of earth works for road or rail construction, going to the northwest, so I decided to take the Astorga option.

George,I did the same ,walked to Astorga but the next year walked the Sanabres and loved it. Managed around the construction in 2013.
I would do it again if I could!

Hi Heather,
I have been told and have read many times how nice a camino the Sanabres is but by the time I had got past Zamora I just wanted an easy end to my camino and while there are still a few toughish days left, especially Benevente-La Baneza, the route north is easy. then of course there is the French way (which often attracts negative comments, from Sarria in particular) which i just love, I like the atmosphere, I especially like seeing those pilgrims that start in Sarria enjoying the camino the way I have for the last month or so. If it gets a little crowded so what!!
Regards
George.
PS If you have only got a day in Edinburgh theres still enough time to see the castle in the morning, get the bus to Leith (not far) to see Britannia after lunch
