Camino is a journey not a competition. Take a serious look at your pack weight, unless you’re including water and lunch that’s heavy for a short hike in civilized country. I can do that sort of distance and elevation in your timescale but I... -
As has been said - it is the last 100 km that are important for the compostela. On my first week of the Norte I was so out of shape and it was tough. I stayed two days in markina and then taxied forward to Gernika to pick up the walk. A few days...

The Camino Portugués starts in Lisbon, so starting in Porto is no more "complete" than starting from Tui, Barcelos, or Ponte de Lima. A "complete" Camino is one that ends in Santiago de Compostela, and if you want to receive a Compostela at the...

Here's a 12 day plan from Ponte de Lima with the longest stage being 16.88 km
