Hi all,
I am wondering if you could help me. I am considering doing el camino in April. I have to arrange Annual Leave from work this week, how long would someone who is quite fit, healthy, in her 30s take to complete walk-from St. Jean to Santiago? I have read different things and need to...
Hi everyone,
