Have booked flights to Santiago in May for 1 week. What would you recommend?

Any advice welcome (First timer)

Wobbits...welcome to the Forum and the Class of 2012!

Consider the Camino Ingles:
-Takes about five days
- If you start in Ferrol...you will earn the Compostela (walk at least 100km)
- Easy bus ride from SDC to Ferrol, can start the same day, walk to Neda (11 km)
-- Pontedeuma (14m)
--Betanzos (20 km)
--Hospital de Bruma (29 km)
--Sigueiro (24km)
--SDC (16km)

That's six days...one overnight in SDC than fly out.

Buen Camino

hmm weird, my post got lost. Anwyay, see that Arn already answered.
Wobbits, you could also walk a part of the Portugues or the last stages of the Frances, depending if you want to do a solitary walk ( Ingles ) or not ( the others I mentioned ).
Anyway, have lots of fun with the preparations!!

To earn the Compostela – the certificate of completion – walkers and pilgrims on horseback must have completed the last consecutive 100 km and cyclists the last consecutive 200 km to Santiago.
Places that are 100 km + from Santiago:
Ferrol 112 Camino Ingles
Lugo 101 Camino Norte
Sarria 114 Camino Frances
Tui 117 Portuguese Caminho
Ourense 108 Silver Way

Yes I have many posts that get lost too, go into ether, however I (when I remember) back track, find my workings then repost, so far no double posting. Sometime if you are too quick & it's still posting then this problem will happen, anyway all good fun & keeps you on your toes

he Ingles from Ferrol allows you to do a "complete" camino in that time frame.

Many thanks for the replies.

I've been looking at the Camino Ingles and think that it may be the one for me.
Given that this is my first time any other advice would be more than welcome.

Cheers
