Pauline and I arrived in Santiago on October 20 after 51 days of walking and three days of sightseeing - Merida, Salamanca and Ourense. We should also have allowed a day for Zamora.
It has been a wonderful experience. We met many more people than we expected to, saw fascinating places we never knew existed and now feel great both mentally and physically.
My advice to anyone attempting this or any other Camino - if you have the time take it easy. There is so much to see. We averaged 19km per day. We did have to do up to 30km a couple of times.
I should gave said we started at Almaden de la Plata as we didn't believe we could do stage three in 36C.
Finally, I don't know if this has been mentioned before but there is s brand new albergue in Campobecerros. It looked as if it would be ready to open within days.
