For a wonderful 2 week Camino, check out the Madrid Camino to Sahagun, then the San Salvador to Oviedo, then the Primitivo Camino to SdC. 3 gorgeous caminos, not crowded at all, completed 2022....love
What about walking up (and down) the Story bridge? I remember walking up the Sydney Harbour bridge and gained a lot of confidence in myself, before my first Camino Francis in 2016. I have always got jittery before subsequent caminos....love
Congratulations Paddy, you're lucky to be on the Camino. Enjoy walking to Muxia then Lires to Finisterre. Did you know the Ingles takes 6 days and is 112 klms from Ferrol?
Love

After Roncesvalles coming into Zuburi is downhill diabolical. Then going up to those wonderful steel sculptures & down the other side of that hill is tough too. So I agree Pamplona it is. You can also ask for the distance certificate from Pamplona if you walk the whole way from there. Good luck...
Casa Susie's at trabadelos is run by an Aussie florist, superb dinner, for 10. She redecorated it ...from an old mill.....Priv albergue that you can book. Loved it
