Thanks for your responses, sounds like we can wing it if we don't mind a few adventures along the way.
Getting excited!
Wonderful and informative forum. There will be 4 of us cycling from Pamplona to Santiago starting September 1st. We are in our late 40's and plan to stay in Hotels along the way. I would personally prefer to "wing it" and decide on the hotel when we are tired and the town looks interesting. Will we have difficulty with full hotels? Do most hotels have a safe place to leave bicycles?
Thanks
J.
We hope to ride between 50 and 70 km per day but plan on lots of flexibility. For us we want it to be about the experience, not the number of miles.How many miles will you be riding daily . I will be starting my ride in Burgos on
August 30 and will finishing in Santiago on September 7.
A large part of the what makes the Camino special is "winging it". I get nervous around pilgrims who can't stop and take in the beauty of a vista for more than 32.48 seconds because they need to make 27.654 kilometers a day to stay on pace to complete their Camino they planned 18 months ago. The Camino is an adventure. It needs to be experienced. Obsessive compulsive planning is a buzz kill when it comes to the Camino. I get it that details are important in your every day life. But this is not launching a rocket or brain surgery. Live it.
Now, now Robert - you know that 97.334% of statistics are made up?? But I take your point - the Camino has many experiences and stopping "to smell the roses" or take in the views are all part of that experience.
