Time of past OR future Camino
2012
Firstly...hello everyone and my absolute apologies for the questions I'm about to ask!! My partner, and my rock, has been walking the El Camino de Santiago for the past 3 weeks and started at the very beginning in St Jean! He started this amazing pilgrimage with a friend to raise money for a charity to raise awareness for a dear friend who he sadly lost to Huntingtons Disease! Unfortunately after day one across the Pyranees my partners friend had to quit the Camino after a bad fall so now my love is on his own! For the past fortnight he has been begging me to come out and finish the pilgrage with him! I didn't think it would be possible with my job but I have managed to drop everything so I can get out on Friday and walk from Sarria to Santiago with him I've looked at busses, timetables, taxis and am really not prepared at all as I didn't see this happening! If anyone out there will be arriving in Santiago this Friday (21st September) morning and wouldn't mind some company to Sarria, please let me know! I cannot speak Spanish and I'm a little nervous about the whole thing! Sorry for such a random post, as you may have guessed...I'm a little worried how to get to Sarria! Are there regular busses to Lugo? Also is it possible to walk from Lugo to Sarria as I cannot find a route!? My apologies again of this has already been discussed...am rather lost

Kerry, don't worry too much about the language, I had about 30 words of Spanish when I did the same stretch as you 3 weeks ago, por favor, gracias, cafe con leche y tostado ( coffee and toasted bread with jam ) will take you a long way. If you have to overnight in Lugo I can heartily recommend Hotel Mendez Nunez ( €42 approx ) about 6 minutes walk from the bus depot, 2nd bus in morning for Sarria leaves at 8.30 am weekdays and takes about 30 minutes to get to Sarria.

You're in for a treat on this stretch of the Camino, some lovely forest paths and quiet roads and great little cafe/bars to relax a few times each day, buen camino.

Thanks so much Seamus! I'm really looking forward to the Camino, and I'm certain I'll be fine thanks for your advice...it's made me feel a lot more relaxed
Thanks again

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Re: Help please!!

Kerry, just to add there are some daily trains between Lugo and Sarria, too. You can get information (even in english or french language) in http://www.renfe.com

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.
