Camino de Invierno from Ponferrada or somewhere closer to Santiago. You can go by train from Santiago to Ponferrada or Monforte de Lemos and some other towns in between.
I am a slow walker. I do 3km an hour without stops and perhaps 4 with a stop or two.
I have walked many caminos. I prefer a walk less than 25 km but I can do 40 if needed.
I do not think being a slow walker means that you can walk a short number of km. It means that you take your time.
Remember...
See your point Alexwalker, the train takes shorter time than I thought.
Tried a return from Santiago via Barcelona on my second camino in 2007 and was robbed on the airporttrain to Sants. Lost passport, money, ccards and the wish to go back. Since I had a direct flight home with SAS, they let me...
Pontevedra, but my opinion is may be because I was lucky to end up there during a middleage festival in September.
Caldas de Reis is a town with hot water sources so a night at a spahotel with hot baths could be nice .
You can fly with SAS via Stockholm or Copenhagen to Biarritz.
Norwegian has a direct flight to Bilbao JUne -August. From the airport there is a direct bus to Irun and Hendaye where you can take the train to Bayonne. Bordeaux and Toulouse also have trainconection to Bayonne if you can find a...
Well, this is many years ago. I stayed some weeks in the reagion and visited their office to get the guidebook in case I once wanted to walk. Both phonenumber and mail may have changed.
Sun was back this week after two months absent. Picture taken from the iceroad over the river Tana, open during winter. The name Tana means like the river Donau a broad , slowfloating river.
I would take a light sleepingbag or a fleececarpet, and a liner as well. If you have booked hotels or hostels you do not need them, but in albergues yes!
I walked the Invierno in 2018, my last camino before severe illness in my household and the covidpandemi.
I would like to walk again, preferably my years of planned Camino de Madrid continuing on the Invierno.
But I guess so many years have gone and I feel too old to walk alone.
On the Invierno...
I am lucky to live in a place where I can go outside my door and start walking as far as I want, in the wilderness or on a local path, skiing or walking, I´m a walker.
@Peregrina 2000 Can you tell me where to buy an electric coil, have not found it anywhere in Norway, searched since I saw you talked about it years ago.
I walked North-South from Fredrikshavn to Viborg end of May in 2014. I was too early for the opening of most herberges, so I had some difficulties in finding places to sleep. My plan was to walk further but much pollen put an end to my walk.
Do not forget to visit domkirken in Viborg. It is...
I sent a package to myself, lista de correos to the postoffice in Santiago from Le Puy en Velay.
It never showed up in Santiago. To years later it showed up at the postoffice at my home in Norway.
At the same time I sent a package with some warmer clothes to Pamplona for the rest of my walk...
