Hi All
I’m planning to do the Camino Frances next year, starting at the end of September or the beginning of October to celebrate 10 years since I’ve had my scoliosis surgery
However, not only am I constrained by time due to work, I still need to look after my physical health (despite my determination). Therefore I’m looking at a 200-300km journey, something I can do in 3 weeks.
I was thinking of a couple of options:
A. Start at Pamplona, bus(es) from Los Arcos to Ponferrada or Sarria, & walk the remainder
B. Start at Leon, finish in Santiago
At the moment Option A is more appealing to me due to the places and things I want to see in this section of the Camino, but I just wanted to know if you feel otherwise.
I also wanted to know if I’ll have trouble continuing the accumulation of stamps for having jumped a large section of the camino. Should I start a new passport for when I start in Ponferrada or Sarria? I heard things could get pretty strict with obtaining the stamps.
I know some may suggest to do a section every year until I reach Santiago, but that’s not an option I want to do. I would appreciate it if no one tries to convince me otherwise After all, I could do the whole of Camino Frances on the 20 year anniversary of my surgery
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
