    Two weeks and have all my nights pre booked!

    I find it funny how most of us have a tendency to want to impose our way of doing things on others.

    Unofficial alternative route to join Camino Frances later at St Irene - avoiding Arzúa

    Thank YOU very much notion900, information like this it's priceless. It helps me personally, since I walked the Camino Frances last year, I would want to stay off of it as much as possible.

    return ticket?

    Hi Jlefebre, I live in California & I walked the Camino Frances in August-September 2016. I had the same dilema as you, I resolve it by over-estimating the days that it would take me to complete my camino. I ended up having 2 extra weeks in Europe so I rented a car & drove to the Basque country...
