I would vouch for the Ingles. Walked it in March this year. Yes it was muddy and it rained, yes it was cold (4 degrees) in the morning, but nothing that good walking boots, a good waterproof coat and a strong umbrella could not cope with, and anyway if you are from Russia, the March 'cold' in...
I would vouch for the Ingles, which can be done in 5 days, albeit including a 3rd day of 30km.
Doing a whole Camino from start to finish which qualifies for a compostela gives a different sense of achievement than doing the last 100km of a longer Camino. In addition, the first two days of the...
