[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 766185, member: 31995"] As many have said, it depends on a lot of things: fitness level, whether you come down with an injury requiring a few days rest, etc. When I (early 50s) walked with my son (15/16 - his birthday was on the Camino) we took 37 days to get from Roncesvalles to Santiago and another 4 to Finisterre. It would have taken us one more to Muxia. But we hadn't trained at all. We found that when we walked day after day for over 25 km, he got terrible blisters. When we kept it under 25 they stayed at bay. My advice would be to book some extra days, if possible, to allow for illness, injury, or the possibility that shorter days work best for you. If you have extra days at the end, there is plenty to see in Spain. The last thing you want to be doing if it takes more of a toll than you expect is to be racing to Santiago to catch a flight home. If that isn't possible, the training regimen before you go will help. Before my most recent Camino I did a lot of walking with my loaded backpack, including up and down hills, until I was very comfortable doing 20+ km for at least 3 days in a row. Ultimately, many people have done it successfully in 32 days and 6 is plenty to walk on to Finisterre and Muxia and provides a little buffer if the pre-Santiago camino takes a bit longer than expected.
