      Not sure what you mean by "last stage", but even if you are disabled with documentation to demonstrate it, you still need to make your way along the Camino somehow. Those travelling to Santiago for pilgrimage purposes by taxi are still pilgrims...

      In winter according to OP's requirements, there really is only the coastal option ; though : Yeah, that could work. Actually, come to think of it a full Winter Francigena might not be feasible either, as the Alps could potentially be impassable.

      A link to the article on the Telegraph website : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/activity-and-adventure/why-you-should-walk-the-worlds-greatest-pilgrimage/ I do like its overall accuracy, for instance it's overly unusual to see : The Camino...
