I have around 30 days to walk starting on October 10th, want to make it to Santiago, and would like some advice on the best place to start. I was thinking to start in Leon and take things kind of easy as I'm 55 and not in the best shape in the whole world - but not in the worst either. I walk daily in Japan between 5 and 15 KM without problem with a light pack. I'm fine even in the hills and mountains as long as I take my time. Still, with a couple of stents in my heart which have been there happily for a few years, I don't think I want to push myself beyond 20 km a day - especially in hilly sections. So the questions: 1) What do you think about starting in Leon? 2) Is it possible to get a Pilgrim's Credential there in Leon - and if so, where? 3) Any other advice welcome. Thanks - Chuck
