Dear All,
We're complete newbies to long-distance walking. Although we travel and enjoy strolls around picturesque beaches and city explorations, embarking on the Camino walk requires a different level of preparation, which we fully recognize. Before diving into the specifics of preparation, I have a few questions. We will be arriving in Santiago de Compostela on July 5th and are exploring how we can embark on a 3 to 5-day walk. We are open to starting from any point but are uncertain about which routes would be best in July, especially those offering comfortable accommodation for our family and delicious food in the evenings.
I've been considering the Camino Portuguese Family package offered by CaminoWays.com, covering a 5-day route from Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis, then to Padron, Teo, and finally Santiago de Compostela, totaling 64 km. Could you recommend a favorite starting point? We might only be able to join for 3 days. Additionally, do you think it would be wise to book dinners in advance? I'm concerned about the availability of dining options if we don't.
Thank you.
Sabina
