Hi
@lugares1989
Welcome and I’m excited for you ., planning your first camino in spain
I think you’ll find trying to cover 500kms on camino in 17 days may be a little ambitious unless you are used to walking long days
Try looking up this site:
www.gronze.com
And checking roughly the distances recommended for each stage or choosing the stops that look right to you. You could walk Sjpdp to start with to say (Pamplona??) then work back from distance /days available after that to walk into Santiago .. most people average 30-38 days to cover SJPDP to Santiago.
Enjoy your planning and Buen Camino
Annie
Edit: yes, people often break it up to fit into days they have available.
You could decide how many days you want to walk at beginning. Then when you know how many days that leaves you for walking /if you want to walk into SDC. calculate where you need to be by taking public transport. Some places are easier to reach by transport. Other stops are not on bus route etc.
If you want to qualify for a Compostela in SDC., you need to cover 100 Kim min
you can do it.
