Hi there,
I'm thinking of walking and cycling the route to cut down time-length slightly.

Any info about where you got bikes, sections, costs and drop off would be great.
Thanks!
@mmwid Hi there, I am actually arriving on the 8th.

Hi there!
I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this forum, what a great community!
The thought of doing the Camino de Francés has been rattling around my skull for some time. And now with 30 or so available, it's about time I make it happen.
