Hello Fellow Pilgrims
I have changed my plan of attack and am now keen to walk the Via de la Plata - starting around 4 September. I realise that will probably still be a bit hot then but maybe a little warmer and drier when I hit Santiago d C????
Yes, the eternal optimist.
I am thinking to allow 37 days to walk plus 3 rest days (Merida, Salamanca and Ourense). This will average around 26km per day with a handful of +30km days in there.
Am I being realistic or overly ambitious?? Last year doing the Camino Frances we averaged 25km a day - the longest day was 37.8km to be precise!
Would appreciate your collective wisdom and also like to hear from anyone else who may be on the track around that time...
All the best
