Hi all! I'm months away from my trip, but reading and learning more and more everyday. I wanted to clarify something and hope that someone has the answer for me.
I've changed things up a bit. I am now starting my walk in Vigo, then in Pontevedra taking the EV. After the climb to Armenteira, I am going to Cambados for a night, then on to Vilanova de Arousa. Will this affect me getting my Compostela??
Day 1 - Vigo to Redondela
Day 2 - Redondela to Arcade
Day 3 - Arcade to Pontevedra
Day 4 - Pontevedra to Combarro
Day 5 - Combarro to Armenteira
Day 6 - Armenteira to Cambados
Day 7 - Cambados to Vilanova de Arousa
Day 8 - Vilanova de Arousa to Padron (Boat then walk)
Day 9 - Padron to Teo
Day 10 Teo to Santiago
Is this detour going to be kms that are not counted as it's not an official route? It would be a shame to not get the Compostela after doing the walk. Normally, people would walk from Armenteira straight to Vilanova de Arousa, so I'm not skipping a stop, just visiting one more town before one on the route? But I will be walking a stretch of this that may not be the "official way". Given it's barely over 100km, I don't want them to say the distance certificate says I only did 98km because some of them "didn't count".
Much appreciate all the help!
Chris
