my advice is to use the Camino guides as just that. A guide. During training you will get a sense of how far to walk a day. The first week is a breaking in period, but also a beautiful journey that should not be rushed. We took an extra day in Pamplona, Leon and Astorga. We also took a train to San Sebastián and Bilbao after Leon to explore.

Put some extra days in your plan for the unexpected. If you live an area and want to stay, then you can. If you are tired or hurt, you can rest.

The most frustrated or disappointed pilgrims we met were those that did not plan enough days for their pilgrimage. It’s not a race to Santiago, it is a beautiful journey.

If you are answering me, I will tell you that I was NOT frustrated at all... each town was well known, and a guy from Hungary did it at the same time as me, and he was not frustrated.
Another thing is that in addition to the Camino you want to do some sightseeing... Then yes, take all the time you can.

Licia,

That is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe 3-4 days off on my 30-32 day journey. Sounds like that will yield the balance of walking and enjoying the various towns on the CF

That’s perfect
Those 3, 4 days in the end will be more than necessary to get ready to go back to real life

I’m looking for suggestions for a 6/7 day walking stage on the Frances that I can do next year with my older less fit companion. We’ve done the stages from Sarria, Ferrol & Tui in recent years. It...
