On my next Camino, I thought about splitting up this leg instead of trying to make it all the way to Astorga. Any suggestions on where to stay? Village/City doesn't matter :)
Don't take this personal but WHO knows what's ahead? I think we all know this. Lord some of ya'll. I just walked it in July. If I can do it again I will. I didn't think I needed to put a precursor that as long as I don't get hit by a meteor or trampled by a herd of wildebeests, I'll do it.
LOL...
and at that time, I felt this was my one and done. I'm 49, I loved it and was proud of myself! I met some great people and loved Spain but I thought I checked the box and would move on to other things. Now I'm back in the real world. My daughter got married a couple of weeks after I returned...

I'm starting slower. For example: I'm walking from St. Jean Pied de Port to stay at Albergue Borda. Then walking to Burguete. Then I'm going to Larrasoana then to Pamplona and will take an extra day or so there. Just ignore the "traditional" book itinerary and just make your own. You'll be fine :)
I feel like I'm well prepared but I am the type who thinks "What am I forgetting?" haha. If you have any suggestions or advice of things to do before I leave, or reminders to not forget something, I'm all ears.
I am preparing physically for the trip. Walking a lot in my gear and with the...
I don't think I'll ever walk the Pacific Crest Trail but I have read a few books about it. It sounds amazing! Sorry for the tangent!
The info on prices has helped me in planning also. Thanks for the post, OP!
