Camino Norte in June 2025 with 2 teenagers

[Grambo3]

First timer here, deep in planning phase!
Getting super excited to connect deeper with my teenagers for 2 weeks on the coastal route. Some of my planning concerns are as follows:
-Should we make reservations? I'd like to stay flexible along the adventure, but don't want to get caught without a place to sleep
-Suggestions on route. Thinking of starting in Gijon or Aviles and then on to Santiago. Should we avoid the traditional stopping points or stick to them?
-Where is the best place to fly into from USA?
-Where is the best place to fly out of post-Camino?
-What is the best way to travel from airport to our start point?
-Hoping to get the most out of this adventure for my kiddos during 2 weeks (14-15 days) with their dad...how many miles/km per day and what time should we head out each morning?

Many thanks for any and all input

Start with, are they excited? And what's their level of fitness ( and yours)?

I'd suggest pre-booking rather than winging it, mostly because most teenagers's circadian rythmns tend to sleeping in late.

When you know the answers to those questions, then plan.

Buen Camino
