Hi, I hope I'm not asking something that's been answered 100 times before but I've searched the forum and I'm still struggeling to make up my mind.
I'll fly into Barcelona 18th of August and will have to fly home three weeks later, so I guess I can mostly expect to do 60% of the Camino.
I don't need to arrive in Santiago this time, I can go back and do the remaining distance later. I don't really have any strong feelings about where to start or where to end my walk, It could even be three weeks inn the middle or split (but I think I'll prefer a continous stretch).
What I'm looking for is your opinion of the best route for those three weeks? I understand that Norte will probably be crowded in August due to Spanish Vacations and Frances might be crowded and very hot?
I'm no fan of walking in 30 deg. C, and I don't mind rain now and then. But to experience the athmosphere in Frances might be the best option for a beginner anyway?
I'm a 58 years old Norwegain, usualy fit but broke my femur in January so not 100% yet but training.. Used to walk in mountains but still not a huge fan of steep descents to often.
So, any recommendations for a three week walk from 18th of August starting anywhere on the Frances or Norte?
