Hi all! I completed the Camino Frances with my 17 yr old son last May (2015) and we had the most wonderful experiences. Now, I would like to take my wife (who is a bit jealous of the experiences we had) and do it again. We are looking to do the Frances again in April / May 2017 but we have a younger son who will be 6 at that time. I'm trying to figure out how much we can do together, should we start in SJPdP? (I would like to) or would it be better to start in Leon or Burgos? Having done the Camino previously I am somewhat familiar of what to expect but I wasn't seeing it through the eyes of a 6 yr old. Some of the children threads seem here to have examples of toddlers (who could be carried or strolled part of the way) or pre-teens. Any experience of families with children in that 5-7 yr old range with words of advice?
