6 days left till my first Camino

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.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Hi Julija, it's no problem what so ever.
I wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Buen Camino Julia!
 
one thing is for sure....You are going on your Camino.
The other sure bet is....you will be back......
All the best and Buen Camino.
