For a gang of new pilgrims I suggest walking from Ferrol..or Coruna (its shorter) Ferrol is just over 100k to Santiago..can be done in 5 days, lovely countryside, plenty of places to stay and eat..however, you can start anywhere...the cathedral will award a Compostella to pilgrims who walk the...- Caomhin O Fearghaill

Which Camino?
Camino Ingles povides a nice 100k+ walk from Ferrol and a Compostella when you finish. Or you could try Puebla de Sanabria to Santiago on the Silver Way...a little bit longer though....- Caomhin O Fearghaill

where to start with 18-20 walking days?
Start in Astorga....The Plata and Frances converge there...with 20 days you have plenty of time to enjoy the Way and reach Santiago. I did it in September 2016, had no trouble finding a bed for the night...it was busy though and very hot... Buen Camino- Caomhin O Fearghaill

Walking last 100KM. English or Portuguese route?
Walk the English Way! A a wonderful walk with the possibility of pressing on to Finnestere and Muxia after Santiago...Portugal is also beautiful and Tui to Santiago has about 7 moderate stages...difficult to chose but I see the English Way as a "complete" Camino (if there is such a thing)- Caomhin O Fearghaill

How do people 60-and-over plan their Camino?
I found a lovely useful little book called "Senior Camino", by Donald Bowes. He takes you from St Jean across the Camino Frances to Santiago. Plenty of hints and tips for us older folks.- Caomhin O Fearghaill

Yep, waking poles are essential never without them. So I got myself a backpack bag. My backpack goes inside with poles strapped on, no dangling straps, everything zipped up nice n' neat. When I get off the plane I fold up my backpack bag and strap it to my backpack. Simple....- Caomhin O Fearghaill
