Those people were ignorant, or trolling. If you are allowed to "start" at a place of your choice that meets the requirements for a compostela (if you want one), then it is ridiculous to say that you are not allowed to do something in the week before you "start" your Camino. If you walk from O Cebreiro to Santiago, then that is your pilgrimage. If you claim to have walked from some other place, as if it were part of your Camino, and that is not true, then it would be a lie, and maybe qualify as "cheating." But there is no logic in saying that you should not visit some place en route to starting your Camino, unless they insist that you must walk from home,I read of someone starting farther back to see some interesting sites and then taking a taxi to the actual starting point of our walk. This was not on this forum. People were derisive of this plan
I read of someone starting farther back to see some interesting sites and then taking a taxi to the actual starting point of our walk. This was not on this forum. People were derisive of this plan but I think it would be great for us and allow us to see a tiny bit more of Spain and the Camino.
Do your Camino as you want. Coming from far away, it is no surprise you want to experience as much as you can: It is an expensive journey for you.Hi Everyone,
I had so many positive responses to my last post I thought I would ask about must see or favorite sites. As some of you may have read, it would be my young adult daughters and I walking the last 100 miles (not km) in late May of 2024. I've hesitated to ask this question as it might be considered as "cheating" but given the positive responses to my other post I thought I would give it a try. I'm not in the best of health and anticipate walking 9 miles a day for around 10 or 11 days. I read of someone starting farther back to see some interesting sites and then taking a taxi to the actual starting point of our walk. This was not on this forum. People were derisive of this plan but I think it would be great for us and allow us to see a tiny bit more of Spain and the Camino. Would anyone care to share a favorite site not too far back from our starting point, which would be either O'Cerebrio or Triacastela that we should consider?
Certainly Ocebrero, Tricastela and Samos are beautiful additions to seeing Galicia. Note that they have limited access by public transportation (it can be done). If you have the time perhaps stay in each town or coordinate with a Taxi company to walk and connect as you go.Hi Everyone,

We have our Missions in California!I really wish I went into more cathedrals specifically Burgos and Leon. Also wish I went in the Gaudi church at Astorga. And maybe more of the little old churches along the way. I’m not even religious but I don’t have that kind of stuff where I live (California).
I had a group over with me in September walking Sarria to Santiago and we had some extra time so spend a morning in Lugo which I highly recommend. The walls were amazing and you can walk as much or as little of them as you want. Also go and visit the cathedral in Lugo which is stunning.The Roman city walls in Lugo? An astonishing piece of civil engineering I had no idea existed until I walked the Primitivo. If you do visit then take the chance to walk the circuit around the top.
Definitely see as much as you can before (or after) you start your walk.Hi Everyone,

First walk your Camino as a pilgrim. Then take buses and trains as a tourist. That way you're not limited to sights in proximity to the Camino.Hi Everyone,
