[QUOTE="Felipe, post: 248237, member: 5219"] Yours seems a good plan. As for “authenticity”, this is a personal thing. The only objective rules are those established in your credential and required by albergues -I consider them a kind of moral contract. Many people do the Camino in sections –I even met a group from Calahorra, in Spain, that was doing it by weekends -mostly chatty and funny middle age ladies, and old people with grandchildren. The only downside of a few days Camino is about lack of “immersion”. After my first pilgrimage, I have only managed to come back for some 7-10 days periods, because of my job. The first days I remain quite attached to my every day issues, checking my e-mail and the news frequently. After some time, I realize that the world can go on without my constant supervision, and I start to look only for very basic things - interesting people to talk with, acceptable lodging, good food, staying healthy. Sadly, after some days of enjoying more thoroughly my Camino, I have to quit, and say goodbye to people that began to feel dear to me. So, at the end, every time I feel satisfied because my plans worked more or less well, but I also have a hint of sadness for not being able to walk further. It is a bittersweet moment. On the other side, after some weeks, I can start to plan my next... :) I believe I have already answered your query about tech; but it is up to you. My personal rule is that I carry only one additional, not essential thing -but only one. As regards the equipment, it is basically the same for a week or a month. The only advantage of a relatively short walk is that you can more or less anticipate the weather. In a month long walk, you can start in a rather cold and rainy spring, and finish it in a hot summer, carrying some cumbersome and now useless heavy stuff. Buen camino! [/QUOTE]
