zammy said:are you coming from madrid? if so, take the night bus to Astorga. Starting from Astorga will enable you to walk calmly without rushing . you will have 1 day for rest during the walk, 1 day to see Santiago and even 1 day to drive to Finistera. 14 days from Leon is too much. Don't risk it.
vartera2 said:I only have 14 walking days available due to work constraints and traveling to/from the US. I have read several times that I can start in Leon and finish within this time frame. However I have also read that the beginning segements are great. Would you recommend starting at Leon and walking to Santiago or rather start in St Jean walk to Pamlona then bus occasionally in order to make the whole trek in 14 days? I'm not sure if I will come back so want to maximize the entire trip/view.
I walked the Portugese camino in 2009 .Porto to Santiago..Took about 11/12 days. It was absolutly beautiful.. Well marked. Plenty of room in the alburges. I have walked the camino Frances 4 times , but the Portugese will always be in my heart... Pat
A relevant question for many, including me, and what informative responses!
All the photos I looked at of pilgrims on The Way, it looks like "smooth sailing" for me; the trail is pleasant walking, level.
