Hi all,
Looking for your opinions about the route selection.
Next year I will be doing a part of CF with my parents and a teenage daughter. It will be the first experience of this kind for them. We will have around 2 weeks in the first half of June.
My original plan was to do SJPP to Estella/Irache, to include Pyrenees, Alto del Perdon, then transfer to Sarria/Lugo and finish in SdC. But as we fly in into Barcelona, all these transfers would take a lot of time and energy, also we would lose some flexibility obviously.
Now, the other option would be to fly to Leon, then catch a train to Astorga, thus having Cruz del Ferro and O'Cebreiro ahead of us.
Money-wise both options are very similar, the second one saves time and gives an extra walking day. The first one seems more vibrant. As I myself last year did the first part to Burgos, I (of course ) find this stretch the most marvellous and want to share the experience with my loved ones. I understand, that people who did the finishing part only would have the same feelings though
So, just looking for other views on this. Perhaps I'm missing something... What you think, would be the best option for first-timers? Especially, as my parents though quite fit and eager to train, don't have hilly terrain to practice.
Thanks a lot
