I am considering walking from Salamanca to Santiago de Compostela in spring 2020 and have just started to try and figure out what stages could work for me. I am most comfortable walking around 20 km per day.
I used godesalco.com for info on distances and availability of places to stay. As I will be on a budget, I would prefer to stay at albergues rather than hotels or pensiones.
Could those of you who have walked that stretch please have a look at my stages and comment if there is anything I overlooked (places not to be missed, places to avoid, especially difficult stages)?
As profile maps sometimes seem to distort reality depending on proportion, I would like to know how difficult you felt this camino to be in comparison to stages on the camino francés (the only one I have walked so far). Are there many steep ascents or descents, comparable to SJPP to Orisson or Cruz de Ferro to Molinaseca?
My time frame for this camino will be anywhere between March 25 and May 5, 2020. Considering that April 12 will be Easter Sunday, how would you schedule this walk in order to avoid typical startig points on typical starting dates?
Would you expect most Easter walkers to start in Ourense to cover the minimum 100 km for their Compostela, or would Salamanca and Zamora also be busy with pilgrims starting their journey?
Thank you, peregrinos!
