Hello walkers, I'm planning my first Camino de Santiago walk, (if only I had known about this walk a few years ago) as I have arthritis in my hip I feel I can't do the routes with steep, high hill climbs. Please give me your knowledge and advice, is there a better way than the one I have concocted?
I've read the book A Pilgrims Guide to the Camino de Santiago, I feel I can only walk the listed route 30 through 33 (this year, ever the optimistic!). My plan is to fly to Leon and enjoy a couple of days just wondering around, hopefully meeting some walkers and listen to their stories. From Leon I plan on taking a train towards Santiago. Can anyone tell me how far I can take the train? I want to start the walk from Portomarin. Your advice is most well come, this first time walker is determined to walk as many miles as her tired body will allow. Thanks guys.
