    Sounds good. I guess I didn’t realize Pilgrims walk so many miles per day. I looked at “tours” to become familiar, and most had sections 8-10-14 miles, so I assumed that was standard. Thank you for the input. Just curious what size backpack would...

    I would like to walk my first Camino in 2025. Late April - May. Second thought is October. I would like my experience to include solo and community time. Which route for 30 days?
