- Time of past OR future Camino
- CF Spring 2022
CP Spring 2024
Norte Spring 2026
I know this question has been asked here before (though not recently), and I also know that pre-planning my itinerary before actually setting out on my walk may be antithetical to the "spirit of the Camino" for some of you
That said: I have the luxury of spending a few extra days along the way from SJPP to Santiago (and thence to Muxia/Finisterre), and I'd love to know everyone's favorite places to spend an extra day for exploration or relaxation.
As an art historian by training I'm more inclined to spend an extra day in a city or town if there are museums, significant places of worship, or other cultural highlights to explore. So to that end I'm already looking forward to spending an extra day (two nights) in Burgos and Leon en route to Santiago, where I'll also be spending a few days before continuing on to the coast.
What are some other places I should consider? I was thinking about Pamplona, of course, but perhaps Logroño has more to offer? (Since they're relatively close I'd be disinclined to spend two nights in both for the sake of keeping some sort of momentum.) Or should I just "bank" an extra night or two in case I happen upon a place or people I want to spend more time with? All suggestions are welcome.
