I had the same intentions and constraints on my first two Caminos (my third will be Norte starting 01 Apr 2019). So in Mar/Apr 2017 I walked the Primitivo from Oviedo to SdC in 12 days. But I was averaging 28 km per day and the total was about 343 km. Also, as I got closer to merging with the...
I'm starting 12 days later so I'll probably just see your graffiti in the albergues and your prose-filled posts. By the way, my knees don't seem to have any cartilage left, so drugs plus end-of-day bags of ice were necessary in the past. Given that, I'm a real fan of walking sticks - which I...
Camino Del Norte (CDN) starting in Irun on April Fool's Day, 2019. I will walk together with my wife, Carol, until Santander, then I have to head back to work. She will carry on to Santiago and earn full bragging rights :D Let's go walking!

Ciao Albertinho,
Sorry to ask this in the wrong forum.... I am starting in Porto on 21 March and haven't made any plans about stops. I appreciate the suggestions you made and would like to know if you think reservations are needed in advance, or if I can just walk up and knock. (I walked Camino...
Ahh Jill,
The difference between a woman and a man (or an ant vs a grasshopper) :) I will check this thing you call "MapsMe" out, and discard my rune sticks if it proves better. As I wandered the back roads, I toyed with the idea of just bulling my way forward across the N634 and hoping for...
