6 days left till my first Camino

Julia_NL · Aug 17, 2015

Hello pilgrims,

I have only 6 days left till my very first Camino.
All is packed and ready.

One question, I start the trip in Ponferrada. In total I have 2,5 weeks to reach Santiago (Ponferrada - Santiago is 200km). Do you think its reasonable to think I would be able to reach Finisterre within those 2,5 weeks too? Its additional 90km.

Some people say I should be ok, some of them are not so sure about it. Maybe somebody of you has done this route already and would be able to help me?

Many thanks for your feedbacks.

Yes. Ponferrada to Santiago is typically 9 days, so even if you take your time, you should have time to walk to the Atlantic. Buen camino.

Hi Julija, it's no problem what so ever.
I wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.

Julia_NL,
As said, very doable.
By the way, if envy is a sin, then at this moment I am very, very sinful.
Buen Camino.
