    From Leon to Santiago

    Sylvia, I did the Camino last fall. I took the bus from Madrid to Astorga. It took 10 days from Astorga to Santiago. This was perfect. I walked with a big group of 5-6 people most days. So we walked leisurely. One of the guys I walked with left from Leon and it took 2 days to get from...

    Leon to Santiago

    I finally made it back to the States last night. I spent 10 days on the Camino with the most amazing people (other pilgrims know what I mean). My little group made it to Santiago on Wed Oct 24 and I spent the 25th seeing the city and parks. After 10 days of walking, the rest day was well...

    Leon to Santiago

    Thanks to everyone for your advice. I have decided to change my route a little. I will be starting in Astorga and have decreased my mileage to approximately 20 km per day except for a couple longer days toward the end. I am not an experienced backpacker so decreasing the mileage seemed a...

    Leon to Santiago

    I am making my first pilgrimage from Leon to Santiago in mid-late October. I plan to walk 30 km/day. Does this seem like a reasonable distance for a first-timer? I am flying into Madrid and taking the train to Leon. The train gets in late so would I be able to get a bed in a refugio or...
