- Time of past OR future Camino
- (2013)
Being a non student or retired American, my vacation allowance will allow just 10 - 12 days. I want to walk the "way" for 5-6 days meeting the 100km minimum for credentials . Likely fly into Madrid, somehow get to where I will start the "way" and then spend a couple days in Barcelona on my way out. My trip will likely be in early September.
1. Recommendations from where to start my short camino?
2. Once in Spain, is it easier to train around vs flying? i.e. train from CDS to Barcelona, from Madrid to start?
3. Is it common to have to prebook a bed?
4. Am I a fool to not start on the Camino Frances? It seems like the beginners route. Suggestions for other routes from the ocean or more coastal route? Camino Portugués perhaps? from Tui?
This will be my pilgrimage out of Breast Cancer and into my 40's... & approximately 6 months out of a pretty big surgery. A 5-6 day walk will be ample to get the heart racing and quell my zest (for a while anyway) for some cross-cultural hobnobbing, history, architecture, culinary bliss, the milky way. Please tell me we can see the milky way on the camino!
