Hey guys, thank you all for all inputs. I´ve just arrived from Santiago and was able to make the camino in the time I had. It was a great and insightful experience and thank you once again for your feedbacks.
Regards

Wow! 6km/h is huge! I am calculating around 4.5. It´s not really a precise schedule, but all the time I have to do that. If I think I won´t make it, it´s always time to improvise. Thanks.
That´s a great experience! I really think that walk during afternoon bring a different perspective to the journey. When I climbed Kilimanjaro, I got a less crowded route, in order to really feel myself in the journey. That´s something I am really looking forward to. Pack will be around 5kg...
I am now checking the terrain, and I have a spare day to include... thinking about turn the first 4 days into 5 (down the average 45km to 36 km in the period), but still researching the best cities to stop.
Sure. I do think to go day by day to adequate the km with the terrain and timeframe, as PlutseligPilegrim said. Doing a fast draft, the plan would be like that:
From To Km Acc KM Walk hs Arrival time
Day 1 Pamplona...
Yes, after some heads up, i think it´s better leave at 6. I have no problem walking morning and afternoon, although in my first draft there are still 3 or 4 very long days... ut things are clearer now.
All great hints!
Yes, Vlebe, I am Brazilian and Tricolor! I am thinking about doing that in early May. I will do it alone and normally i am a fast walker. I am thinking about 4.5 to 5 km/h with a 5kg backpack. I normally walk 10 km everyday in my normal life, but i do not want to underestimate...
Thanks a lot Bradypus!
On your journey, how many hours per day did you walk? I am thinking about leaving really early in the day (4:30, 5am) and walk during 6, 7 hours, reaching around noon. Do you think it´s feasible? I am wonder to start early in may 2018.
Well, first, I have only 20 days, and that´s all. I know there are other options (start in burgos, do it in 2 different years, start walking, then ride a bus, and then finish walking), but none of them really got me. I am kinda fit and did other physical challenges (i.e. climbed Kilimanjaro)...
