    I am doing the exact same thing in May 2025- I am curious about the train from Madrid to Sarria. I really want to see Cruz De Farro before, but can walk that distance due to time- You got this! Please share your journey!

    I walked many times to Santiago, usually alone, but 20 years ago, very long distances and always staying in albergues. This year, age 59, I walked again. This time from Sarria, and was very nervous as I knew the Way had changed much in 20 years...

    I’m not sure if you seen the movie “I’ll Push You” (based on the book). It’s a beautiful true story about 2 friends, one is in a wheelchair, on the Camino. It is a big part of what inspired me. Buen Camino! Keep us updated.
