Camino Frances

[magafran]

Hi! My name is Ruben Magana and I am from California. I will be walking the Camino Frances starting June 2 from Saint Jean Pied de Port. My plan also includes walking to Finisterre from Santiago de Compostela and walking back to Santiago de Compostela where I will spend a couple of days before flying home from Madrid on July 20. This will be my first Camino.

Buen Camino from a fellow Californian pilgrim! You’ll be amazed at how similar the geography feels to the Central Valley - like California without all the people

How many kilometres are you planning on walking each day

 

[magafran]

My plan is to walk between 20 and 25 kilometers each day which will include a few rest days whenever I feel really tired. I love walking and being outdoors, but I definitely don’t want to over do it.

Hi Ruben,
If you are planning to walk back to SDC from Fisterra, and you have a spare day, I highly recommend you walk via Muxia. It's a beautiful place. There is also another 0km marker there. Buen Camino.

What a fabulous recommendation, JMac56! I do have a couple extra days so I have modified my Camino plans to now include walking to Muxia from Santiago. I will spend one night in Muxia then walk to Finisterra. I will spend one day there and then walk back to Santiago. I am so happy that walking to Muxia will be part of my Camino. Thanks!

Muxía should not be missed in my humble opinion! I just love that place. And the sunsets I have experienced were to die for!
