[QUOTE="skilsaw, post: 48758, member: 6210"] Crissy, I think you should clarify with your father what the "whole camino" is. Most people, speaking of the whole camino mean the Camino Frances from Saint Jean Pied du Port or Roncesvalles to Santiago. How many days does it take? Many of the guidebooks are divided into 31 to 33 stages, each being one day of walking. Many pilgrims average 23 to 25 kms per day which works out to (suprise, suprise) 31 to 34 days for the whole thing. I personally think pilgrims doing just the last 100 kms are missing the point and also miss the greatest part of the experience. Walking is the objective, Santiago is just the destination. Make Leon to Santiago your bottom line. I have friends who did that out of necessity and truly experienced what it means to be a pilgrim. The first week is a real shock, and along with sore muscles and stiff joints, they wonder what they have gotten in to. By the time you get into the second week, you have acclimatized and got your rhythm, made a few friends and have lots of acquaintences who are also pilgrims. This is when the sense of achievement and belonging becomes intoxicating. One Hundred kms in Four days from Sarria just doesn't give you the experience. Good luck in your negotiations with your dad and remember... only two outfits and 5 pairs of socks. David, Victoria, Canada [/QUOTE]
