18 day Camino

[CaminoK]

I am new to the site and off to walk my first Camino next month. I arrive in St Jean, and am thinking of walking to Logrono, then train to visit Leon, picking up the walk again in Ponferrada. Wondered if anyone has done beginning and end sections, and how it was for you.

There 's a similar recent thread and all the advice there is not to skip sections but to choose one continuous stretch - that way you will have to chance to encounter some from the cohort of pilgrims that started at the same time and place as you - and sticking to walking removes the temptation to use other forms of transport - I also took the bus to Finisterre on my last day as the lighthouse there is a great contrast to the noise and bustle of Santiago de Compostella
