February walk

[Lisakline]

Hello
I am very excited to begin my first Camino walk! I will begin around February 6thand have about 3 weeks. Do any of you seasoned Camino people have a good suggestion where I can begin walking to reach Santiago in 3 weeks walking? Thanks!

Burgos.

You will see very few pilgrims, but the municipal albergues will be open, and there will be open accommodations at the normal stage end points. Very little is open between the major stopping points, so have food with you. You may have to self-cater in the municipal albergues, as bars and restaurants may be closed.

It is fun but quiet!

Be prepared, stay safe, and Buen camino.

Depends a little on the weather. Even from Leon in snowy conditions can be a challenge and the Meseta can be a tough muddy slog... with decent weather Burgos should be comfortable! Good luck.

Watch out for the mud!

Buen camino.

Thanks to all for your kind replies. Do you think i will see many other pilgrims? I dont mind walking alone, but love meeting other people, and don't want be the only person in the albergue at night. What are your thoughts?

If you know, how far you can walk for a day, a good planning tool is:
