    Does anyone know of any shorter pilgrimage routes around the world?

    Planning: New to El Camino with 6yo kid (which route is best?)

    Most scenic 5-7 days on any Camino?

    How do you choose your first Camino route?

    So many different scenarios and circumstances with the Camino. As an expat Brit living on the coast of western Canada we naturally visit family in London when returning to Europe therefore less time to walk. Only 15 years approx until I retire and seriously walk......?

    How do you choose your first Camino route?

    We were very much restricted in terms of time. I was very grateful when I learned of the other options for walking the last 100km besides Sarria. It was nice to say we walked a complete Camino even if it is the shortest that ends in Santiago. Gaining the Compostela was nice but, the Pilgrims...
