- Time of past OR future Camino
- July 2024
Hello! I have 8 walking days on the camino beginning July 27. I will be taking my family of seven (kids are 14-21). I am trying to decide on our starting point. I was originally thinking we would do Sarria, but then decided on the Portuguese way to avoid some of the crowds. This is a religious pilgrimage for my wife and I (we are practicing Catholics), but the kids are less so - spiritual for sure but more about personal growth for them. We all like history, beautiful old towns, good food, and peaceful places.
I definitely want to do the spiritual variant to stop in the monasteries and take the boat ride, but not sure what to do before that. I thought we would start in Baiona, but have heard great things about Valença. We will be flying into Madrid on the 25th so will have some time to get to either city (probably via train to Vigo and minibus shuttle from there).
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!
Peace,
Todd
