    As a 70 year old lone female pilgrim (3 Caminos ) I agree with everything that has been said above. #15 post by Brooklinn is so good read it again and again.

That left 18.5k for the last day. If that is to far for the last day there are plenty of places to stay...

    Spiritual Variante

    In 2022 I also stayed at this hostel and cannot recommend it enough. It was one of the best places I stayed. The next morning I walked to Ribadumia and stayed the night there leaving a comfortable 17k walk the next day.

    Carry your backpack please.

    I feel I need to add my two pennyworth to this thread. I walked my first Camino, CF, Roncesvalles to SDC in 2021 aged 68.
