Planning on walking 20 - 25 kms per day, starting in St Jean, and planning 3 to 4 rest days.How far do you plan to walk each day? Where do you intend to start? Are you planning to have rest and reserve days?
I'll be in Spain 7 weeks, which I think gives me enough cushion time. My birthday is on day 36 of my Camino, and I hope to celebrate it in either Santiago or Finisterre. But anywhere on the way will be fine with me.I didn't want to have to plan ahead too much, so I was lucky to have the time, and gave myself two months in Spain. Even at a leisurely pace (average 20 KM a day with several rest days), it was way more than enough and I walked on from Finisterre to Muxia, too. Highly recommended. Then I spent a few days exploring Madrid before flying home. I was glad I did that, because I constantly met people along the way who felt rushed, having to catch a return flight. You can't predict illness, injuries/blisters, or even fun opportunities along the way, so if you have the time, do it! That being said, a month and three weeks would be more than enough for most people.
When I am wright it is about 850 / 900 km. when you begin in SJPDP .As I am booking flights and wondering how many days I should give myself from my arrival date to my return? Thank you!
