- CF to Burgos Sept/Oct 2014, Burgos to Astorga April 2016, Astorga to SdC 2017
I have 21 days (Sept 16 - Oct 5, 2014) to walk the Camino Frances. I'll be making my air reservations soon so the dates might change just a little. I want to keep my days about 20km average. And spending time in cities and villages and preserving my knees more important than crossing the Pyrenees this trip. I will do the entire Pyrenees to SdC another time. I'll exit out at Burgos.
So I penciled out a plan starting in Zubiri. Day 1 is flight from home. Day 2 lands me in Madrid at 8am-ish and then bus to Pamplona. Then another bus or other transport (comments welcome please) to Zubiri. Does anyone know roughly what time I'd get to Zubiri? (my husband doesn't remember what time they passed through on his way to SJPdP or what time they made it to SJPdP). If I make all my connections will I get to Zubiri in time to grab a bed there or will all the Pereginos coming down from Roncevalles beat me to the albergue beds? Budget is a concern so I'd rather not hotel it.
Day 3 Zubiri to Pamplona, play tourist and overnight there. Is there enough to do in Pamplona to spend the morning of day 4 there and then walk the short distance to Cizur Menor after lunch and grab a bed?
Meanwhile I've been starting to look at each city and village to see what's there and taking notes.
thanks!!
