I remenber very well a time many years ago when I was determined to walk the Camino Primitivo and EVERYTHING told me: "Tracy. Don't push it. Not now." I had my feet wrapped and my boots on but I STILL couldn't get myself walking!
Finally, I (very guiltily) drove to S de C and parking my car outside the Seminario Menor like a homing pigeon slept the night through; the next day I woke up right as rain.
Maybe it was you, and the time that was wrong, not the Camino?
You'll know where to go next time. Just listen. Just listen...

I am currently working a lightweight, packable time machine for all the "I coulda, shoula, woulda" probems of the Camino. When it is ready for market, I will let you know.allowing myself to held by the thought of what could have been

For all that I only did 3 days from Fuencarral to Cercedilla,then train to Segovia, then home, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the route - I don't know where you guys have been walking before to rate this so highly, but for me it isn't a patch on northern Mallorca, or lots of long distance paths in the UK. The white path stretching endlessly ahead about sums it up.
Monotonous. Day 3 from Manzanares to Cercedilla was practically all tarmac - albeit with little traffic, pedestrian or vehicular.
