Hi All,
I am from Southern California and my husband and I have decided to walk a small portion of the Camino next Spring (late March?). Unfortunately, between the time it will take us to get to Spain and to the Camino itself, our work schedules will only allows us about five days on the Camino. I would so love to do the full 30-40 day walk, but for now, five days is better than nothing, right? At least, we will get a "taste" of the experience of being a pilgrim on this sacred route- and hopefully, perhaps after we retire, we can do the full camino. We'd love to do five days that will lead us to Santiago, but with so many routes, I am not sure which one to choose. We are in our late 40s and early 50s, reasonably fit and looking to enjoy a beautiful, scenic walk through countryside, villages, and towns. I'd love to hear suggestions about which route would be best for us. Fraces? Ingles? Norte? So many choices- I am just not sure where to begin. While we know we can't get the "full experience" of the full camino route (which makes us sad, envious and a little ashamed to ask the heartier pilgrims), we hope to get the feel for the community, solitude, and beauty of this journey. Your thoughts, suggestions and encouragements would be most welcome! Thank you in advance.
