If you can walk 26 km/day for 10 consecutive days, you'll be fine. Test yourself with a couple of 25 km days and you'll get a better idea. My first camino was Astorga to Santiago but I think I took 12 days.I hope to be able to make it to SdC in about 9-10 days - does this seem reasonable?
Hi Jason,
I walked from Astorga last September and it took me 10 days. I also flew to Madrid, then train to Leon and train from Leon to Astorga. All very easy but trains were expensive because I hadn’t booked in advance (make sure you book!). I had arrived in Astorga at about 4pm and started walking immediately to a place only 5km or so out of Astorga, Murias de Rechivaldo, where I stayed for the night. It’s a tiny rural hamlet, very pretty and very quiet and the albergue there was lovely and had a great atmosphere. It was a very nice place to start walking from in the morning.
Astorga seems like a really lovely town though but as everything was closed for siesta when I arrived I didn’t linger.
hello, you can do it in 8/10 days, obviously depending on your preparation. The first day you will immediately find a long but easy climb. astorga is nice, a beautiful cathedral and the episcopal palace of Gaudi.Greetings, peregrinos!
I've decided to walk the Camino Frances this May (2019) starting in Astorga. Originally, my plan was to travel to Rome as a pilgrim/tourist, but decided to back out. Walking the Camino had been on my radar for some time. I figured it's now or never, so I bought a reasonably priced ticket to Madrid fairly recently. The only planning I've done so far is to check prices for private rooms upon my arrival in Astorga, SdC, and at the very end, in Madrid.

By the way, this forum is fantastic - I'm so glad I found it! Maybe our paths will cross along the Way?!

I think you’re pushing it. You need an extra day or two. The “stages” suggest 11 days and they presume you a Camino fit by Astorga. Why rush? You can take a bus/taxi if you’re overdoing it or get injured but why risk it.Greetings, peregrinos!
