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’m older than you and lately I’ve had to travel solo, including doing the camino, different ones, three times solo, in France and in Spain.
