Aviles to finesterre in 14 days?

[Spaingirl]

Hello all
I will embarking on camino number three in June and looking at maps and links. But like always, other peoples input is always best. Could anyone let me know a little about the terrain from aviles onwards. I have walked up to 58 km in a day last camino...but that was towards the end of the French route as we were very eager to get to santiago and didn't like the village at the end so decided to keep walking ( : I am fairly certain we can make santiago in 14 days from aviles....is finesterre possible?
Thank you. So excited to do another camino!
Cheers
Sarah

Its 3 days to Finisterre from Santiago.
Yes you can reach Sobrado de los Monxes from Aviles in 10 days. You will have no choice but to stay in this village .
From Sobrado it is 60 plus km to Santiago and it looks like you will be walking it again as the towns that you disliked [ Arzua and Acra] are still there .

It took me 14 days from Aviles to Santiago including a day off in Ribadeo. I could have walked it in 3 days less but i was in a frame of mind of why rush my remaining time on the Norte, some camino friends i said good bye to in Ribadeo walked that section to Monte de Gozo in 5 days, that included a shortened section of staying at Miraz and Sobrado dox Monxes.
The options from Aviles seem to be walking either walking 11km-24km days or kicking on and doing 32km-41km days a fair few people do the latter. Just a word of warning about the Aviles to Cudillero/ Soto de Luina section, its not wellmarked and it felt quite tough in 2010, i wouldnt start going for longer sections untill you get after Luarca, there is sufficient albergues at intervals to be able to alter your day lengths as you need.
Buen Camino

Sarah,
Finisterre is definitely do-able if you are content to walk a few 35-40k days. The terrain is not so bad at this end of the Norte - some roads (nearly all small ones), some hills, but nothing to be concerned about. If you walk to Soto de Luina on your first day it may well be your hardest stage, with sparse waymarking on the latter part. The coastal village of Cudillero that Mike mentions would make for an easier first day of about 30km.
