American - planning 1st time Camino
- Time of past OR future Camino
- Sept 2025
I do want to earn the Compostela. But I also want to do a more manageable and leisurely pace and not overdo it. Based on the Camino Ninja app, here is the route I plan (excludes travel days):
Day 1: Valenca to O Porrino (20 KM)
Day 2: O Porrino to Redondela (16 KM)
Day 3: Redondela to Pontevedra (21 KM)
Day 4: Rest day in Pontevedra ( sight-see)
Day 5: Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis (22 KM)
Day 6: Caldas to Pontecesures (16 KM)
Day 7: Pontecesures to O Faramello (15 KM)
Day 8: O Faramello to Santiago (15KM)
DAY 9: Free day in Santiago
Start May 16 - May 24, 2025. Is this a good plan? Do you have any recommendations for things to see & do in each place?
I thought I would plan shorter distances to give myself a buffer, but if it turns out that I am feeling okay going greater distances each day, then I can adjust my schedule while on the trail & use any extra days in Santiago.
