[QUOTE="pixel, post: 1221377, member: 114002"] Wow, It is so nice and overwhelming to get so much feedback after one night's sleep. Thank you all for your valuable information and advice. I am more encouraged to make the move and walk Primitivo, and I can feel my excitement☺️. Here are some of the info that I missed to provide in my 1st post: 1. I am planning to start my First Camino in May 2024, probably Mid of May. 2. I wouldn't consider walking part of Camino Frances this time, as I want to do it in one go when I have 35+ days (I have ~20 days available for this trip) 3. I don't mind if I have to take a bit longer than average to finish the journey, my goal is to arrive SDC safely and enjoy the journey. 4. With the info I collected so far, I am thinking of walking 20+ km per day, and with that, I should arrive at SDC in about 16 days. I would consider taking a day to see Lugo if it is worth it. 5. I've been to Spain before (Madrid/Toledo and Barcelona), but my Spanish is nearly 0 except for very basic greetings and gracias. 6. I used to hike once a week on weekends but have stopped for a while. As I started to prepare for my first Camino, I started going hiking once a week carrying a backpack of ~15lb and normally hiking about 10+ km with a mixed up and downhill and flat section. I am planning to gradually increase it to 20 km+ I have some further questions to the veterans: 1. I prepared lighter hiking shoes originally for Camino Portuguese (as it is almost flat), but after watching a few YouTube videos, I think I probably should wear heavier hiking boots for Camino Primitivo. Any suggestions? I will be walking in May/June. 2. Is there a luggage delivery service available on Camino Primitivo Route? Just in case I need it for the tough days 3. Are there sections that I'd better make reservations ahead of time? 4. Reading blogs and watching videos online, seems no one mentioned jet lag. Should I need to plan a few lighter days at the beginning? Thank you so much, everyone! Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
