The writer below is extolling the virtues of lots of time on the CdF, but implicitly denigrating the virtues of less time/distance, which is unfortunate, and, as thousands of pilgrims who are only able to spend shorter periods of time on the Camino will attest, not true. For me my 5 days from...
They'll be lucky to have you join them !
Relax, enjoy , you're going to have a great time, quite rightly, remember , other people are vicariously living your pilgrimage
Short Camino , Long Camino , whatever, pilgrims each have their own motivation and leave their unique footprint on the Camino.
At the end of the Great Camino, we're all like Chess pieces, Queen or King, Rook or Pawn, we all go out in the same box....

A very interesting thread, I'm worried that the OP Albertinho appears to have left the forum after June 6 2016 , I hope all is well with him and that he returns soon :)
Concerning the apparent dilemmas faced by the gracious hosts of the particular Donativo , it seems that a recommended minimum...
Hi Doogman, really interested in your experience, I've done Tui to SdC twice and loved it, returning to Vigo to visit Ceas Islands ( another story). Where did you start from ? Was the way marking to "turn right" clear in different locations ?
Well,
Don't worry , it's a well marked route with easily managed stages, and although it will be early in the season there will be other pilgrims, you might be able to find statistics from previous years. There are lovely places to see , and spring will be a lovely time , including some rain...
