    Camino in baby steps.

    Hi Remus, Welcome! My DH & I are doing just as you enquire about. As he can not take much more than 2 weeks holiday we are doing a section at the moment & expect to finish near Logrono at the end of the week. We plan to return in September for another section. It's great!
