Actually, there has been 266 fewer pilgrims to date this November than last November, not a big change. Rain is predicted for every day from November 15 to November 26! Take a poncho.Santiago is not as quiet as it used to be in previous Novembers
Hi,
I need to get away. Can't hold it, I feel a hand bringing me to Santiago. We traveled so much and EVERY single thing reminds me of her.
I was thinking about doing the Sarria - Santiago stretch starting on the 15th or 16th of November.
A few questions.
Reading around I found out that Tui - Santiago is more beautiful and easier. Recently I visited Ireland and I really want an immersion in nature so maybe Tui is the best option. I want to be alone but honestly, meeting people after I went through would be an amazing thing. It likely that I'm gonna meet some peregrinos from Sarria, right? Am I even gonna meet anyone from Tui in mid November?
I'm obese but determination fuels me, in Ireland I walked a lot. 15km was around the most and I went up Diamond Hill in Connemara (Hardest thing I've ever done and the descent was so beautiful and rewarding)
I want to push me over the limit and the fact that it's winter pumps me up a bit. Do you think I will be reasonably safe? Will I have problems finding accomodations every 10/20km from Sarria? And from Tui?
Well, in the end my mind was on Sarria - Santigo but now I'm torn.
Thank you,
Nello.
I can't help you with route choices, Nello, as I'm yet to start my first camino in September 2015, but I hear your pain and just wanted to say that you're in my prayers during this dark period. It will lift, but at the moment I know it's tough.Hi,

Where is the dangerous road walking?... It is less hilly, but there is more dangerous road walking than on the Sarria-Santiago route...
The highway crossings around Porrino had fast traffic and narrow shoulders. Also Redondela and north of Redondela.Where is the dangerous road walking?
ENJOY!!I would like to thank everyone for the suggestions and the beautiful words, they helped a lot.
I've been holding it back but in the end, this morning at 5, I booked my tickets. I'll be departing on the 20 and coming back on the 1st of December. I have a layover and will arrive in SCQ at 8.30am on the 21st, looking at timetables for the Santiago-Lugo-Sarria busses I should be in Sarria before 1pm. Should I begin the walk or spend the night there starting my journey on the 22nd?
I really hope I can make it to Santiago by the 30 walking a minimum of 15km a day to catch my plane the morning after. I'll do my best to be determined and finish early to go to Fisterra or Muxia but I'm not gonna worry about that too much. I'll enjoy the moment one step at the time and I plan on walking the entire Camino in the near future.
Waiting was maybe a good thing, the weather doesn't look too bad.
Making that commitment to book the ticket is the hardest part. Good for you that you're going. I too remember that section as being pretty, and you should have plenty of time to do it. I stayed at the Hostal el Pedra, at the eastern end of town. It has rooms (24 euro in 3013) as well as being an albergue. Do try and get to Muxia IF you can. It's really beautiful there, and I would think the Albergue Bella Muxia would still be open. Great atmosphere there. Above all, start slowly, pack light, take hiking poles, and enjoy both the solitude and companionship you will find. Let us all know how you do. Buen camino, CherryI would like to thank everyone for the suggestions and the beautiful words, they helped a lot.

I must have taken a detour.

Thanks so much for getting back to us on this. Hang in there.I did it.
Got a blister so big that when I arrived in Arzua the Doctor looked at it in awe. It got infected and I had to stay in Arzua 5 days.
It was amazing and inspiring, I've been home 3 days and I feel I healed a lot emotionally. I felt really good.
The only problem is that just an hour ago I fell down the hole again, it's weird. I feel I looked back and started to walk in the other direction, I must walk forward. I tought I was good and I'm in so much pain right now. Hope a night of sleep and thinking about my little adventure will bring me up again.
The Way made me realize that I can put this behind me.
I want to thank again everyone for the amazing words. I'm so glad I did it.
The Camino is very special and it doesn't end when you arrive in Santiago but right now I really wish I was still there...

Hy, welcome on this forum. Start from Sarria, finding accomodations is no problem. I wish you a Buen Camino.Hi,
