Louiseann, One of the best pieces of advice came from The Camino Guide on YouTube. He said if you have read books and watched several videos about the Camino then STOP and buy your airline ticket and GO!Thank you for advice! My research so far is blowing my mind!
Thank youHi Louiseann
Your camino your choice. there will be many saying this one that one... Try looking at some of the blogs on You tube. and see how each looks and the comments the Pilgrim makes. Best wishes. I make my camino's my way and have great enjoyment doing it for Me.!!! best wishes. Bernard
I’ll second @ShoshTrvls. The Inglés is a splendid “complete” Camino. One with a long history and a story to tell. In Holy Week you’ll have plenty of company so, perhaps, look at pre-booking your accommodation especially around Hospital de Bruma. In recent years I’ve found the diversion to Mesón do Vento worthwhile.
Happy planning
Ah, the thousand roads… There are many ways to Santiago and he himself doesn’t care which one you take. If the Pilgrim aspires to a Compostela they’d better take an approved onethere are other walks available from Lugo to Santiago as well.
It may seem that way from reading forum posts, but I would guess that most pilgrims to Santiago are "one and done" sorts. However, I agree that if there is a chance that one will eventually walk a longer Camino Francés that it could be desirable to not walk the last stages first.not many people walk only one pilgrimage
Warning, avoid the road to the White House. It's been miserable.Ah, the thousand roads…
I've walked both routes, both have their "ups and downs" and always beautiful. Happy birthday and Buen Camino!I have been gifted a camio for my 60th birthday! My partner and I are restricted to school holidays so plan to walk over the Easter holidays 2025. Sarria or vigo?

Thanks. I'd love to do thisFerrol!
Really, the Ingles is a wonderful Camino, walking from the coast, along estuaries, through vineyards and forests, and into Santiago. Roughly in the middle is the wonderful town of Betanzos. And it’s not too crowded, but also not lonely
Another wonderful thing about the Ingles as a short first Camino is that you get the feeling of community without all the distraction of “where did you start?” Everyone starts at Ferrol (or A Coruna) and so you all have the same shared experience.
