There are lots of us who walk camino routes in sections. It's not unusual for those of us in Europe who are still working to even go and walk for a week at a time. Getting a month off in one go -even if it's in my entitlement- is nearly...
Have walked with a good few who couldn't get enough time off, so were splitting it into 4 and slowly coming back to complete it. If I hadn't been able to get the time off and I was keen to do it... then it wouldnt matter to me but given a...
I have walked the Camino Frances in a continuous journey several times and I am currently walking in short stages once a year with a friend who can only get a week or so off work at a time. They are very different experiences and on the whole I...
I'm with @peregrino_tom on this one, I would go for the Primitivo. For exactly the same reasons.

I did the Francés camino in 2 trips. 2018 and 2019. Stopped and started from the train station in Sahagun. Easy on and off place. It was important to me not to miss a step. Yes I did want to do the second part as soon as possible so I...
