A lovely 7 day walk.
Bus back to Santiago
Our Camino Frances started in 2012 and was walked in stages each year until we completed in 2016. Each time we returned we were older and a little wiser.
It was a question of time / holiday limits.
We walked from Santiago to Finistere and on to Muxia in May.
=7 days of walking. (3 of the days were only 15km towards the end)
Older pilgrims here. You may be younger and fitter.
Exactly what we did because J.Brierley said we could! We finished in Léon that year.
If we'd not caught that bus I would never have sat next to a lovely lady who told me how to buy a senior rail card. Next day we bought our senior cards and very cheap train tickets to Santander.
That lady was...
We did Santiago to Finistere to Muxia early in May. A beautiful 7 day walk. You can get a couple of lovely certificates at Finistere and Muxia to prove you've completed the walk.
Bus back to Santiago.

June 2012 à beautiful walk to Orrisson, hot sunny day. Next day a howling gale for our walk to Roncesvalles. We saw a French man stop and put socks on his hands. It was hard to stop without getting blown over.
The concrete bunker/ shelter was like a United Nations refuge, pilgrims queuing to...
Enjoy and just keep returning to pick up where you keft off, time and finance permitting.
We did this, started in Blaye France 2012 completed at Finistere 2016
Since then i have walked some more of the voie de Tours, The Camino del Baztan and the Portuguese.
Can't wait to walk the next one...
We (Baztan 4) stayed with Veronique in 2018.
Interesting experience.
We booked ahead and were told there were 4 beds waiting for us. On arrival another pilgrim had arrived before us, the 4 beds had to be stretched to 5, my niece drew the short straw and slept on a mattress on the crowded floor...

Go for it! It sounds as though you've planned well and will have the confidence to fulfill your dream.
In 2016 en route to SdC from Sarria I met a lady of almost 80 who'd planned to do the walk with her sister. The sister unfortunately broke an ankle before they were due to...
