I think the easier walk is from Sarria,in theory its downhill,but the big plus is the abundance of Alburgue's every 7km or so.rosturk said:
I think the CI is a better walk but the accommodation is more spaced out in one case nearly 28km uphill to Bruma,one of the highest points in Galicia,I think Bruma means the place of mists.
I love the CI as it was my first Camino and I would choose it everytime over Sarria which only comes into it's own if you have done a long walk in order to get there first.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

In 2009 I walked Ferrol to SDC.
In 2010 I walked Sarria to SDC.
I have stents and two of my arteries are 90% narrowed. Throw in diabetes, some kidney failure, some loss of sensation in my feet and that's me.
Sarria is best. More people to help if you get into trouble. More bars to stop at. Albergues far more frequent. More roads, buses and taxis to call.
While the topography from Sarria is downhill, be aware that the Camino crosses a number of river beds so there is still plenty of hills to go up.
What is significant is that the hills on the Camino Ingles are higher and more strenuous. Indeed the climb out of Pontedeume is steep, long and challenging.
The blunt truth is if you need medical help or have to abandon your Camino it will be far easier on the Sarria to SDC route.
If you find that this route gives few problems then you might come back to the Ingles at a later date, but for now undertake the Frances.
