[QUOTE="C clearly, post: 1050334, member: 1589"] Hi [USER=103060]@SantaMonicaPeregrina[/USER] - Welcome to the forum! I have moved a few posts from other threads so that people can focus on answering your question. I don't know that Brierley uses the word "recommendation" for the stages that are presented in that guide. They should be treated as possible and convenient stages, that fit nicely on a page! :) In fact, many people recommend that you NOT stay in those start/end points because they tend to be more crowded. You might have better luck finding a bed in in-between towns. Brierley gives information on accommodation there, as well. No, everyone does not walk from SJPP to Santiago in 33 days. But I would guess that it is more common to take longer. However, I see that you are hoping to do it in 30 days. Do you mean 26 + 4 rest days, or 30 + 4 rest days. Either way seems like too much pressure to me. You don't need to start in SJPP. Maybe your Camino would be happier if you started in Roncesvalles or Pamplona or Burgos. There is nothing "incomplete" about starting closer to Santiago. If you start too far away, and then find you need to skip ahead, you will lose the continuity of walking and the people you meet along the way. I would prefer to start closer to Santiago in order to keep that continuity and be able to relax about the timing. Don't forget to build in adequate travel time - to SJPP and from Santiago to wherever you are flying home from. Also, it is wise to allow at least one free day in Santiago at the end, in case of delays or line-ups to get your Compostela. [/QUOTE]
