Check out the Camino Ingles. You can get a flight from London to Coruna and a return flight to London from Santiago.Hello!
I was speaking with a coworker today about good places to solo travel in late September/early October and he mentioned Camino de Santiago. I'm looking to fly out of NYC on a Saturday and fly back to NYC on the following Saturday. Of the paths I've been reading about Sarria seems to be ideal for my time limit.
Some questions...
- Is Sarria -> Santiago good from a timing perspective? Are there other routes people would recommend?
- What is the best way to get to Sarria from NYC and then get home to NYC from Santiago?
I'll probably have more questions as I do more reasearch and/or people reply to this thread.
Thanks!
Perhaps the worst mistake you can make when you walk a Camino is to not allow enough time to enjoy the Camino as a journey where you are not pressured by time. The Spanish/Portuguese/French countryside, people, food, and environment is simply wonderful. If you spend all your time walking you'll either be too busy or too tired to just enjoy what you are passing through.
I think this is a great idea! Redeye to Madrid, then bus to SJPP. Much more fun part of the Camino than Sarria to Santiago.My recommendation is St. Jean Pied de Port to as far as you get in the time you have (hopefully Viana). You can fly round trip to Biarritz (it is easy to get from the Biarritz airport to SJPDP and there are buses from Logrono and Pamplona back to Biarritz). The scenery on this part of the route is spectacular. My guess is you will come back for another seven days and start where you left off. Buean Camino!
Hmm, so it definitely seems like I need to allow myself more time. What time allotment would be recommended for Sarria -> Santiago with 2 dead days of travel getting to Sarria and another 2 dead days of travel for leaving Santiago?
