Hi!Am trying to organise a trip for myself and my daughter for next July to August - 21 days in total - and, accepting that this is no way enough time to complete the whole route on foot, am starting to feel a little overwhelmed about where to start!
Realistically, I expect the first day of the trip to be taken up getting to our starting point (where ever that may be) and also expect to cover some sections of the journey by public transport (but which bits to miss out?!).
Day 21 would be our return to the UK so that leaves 19 days walking in total.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanking you in advance!!!

Burgos is beautiful and a great place to start. And, I understand that feeling that won’t go away, I had it 2 years ago when I did the CF. Still had it so I did the CI this year, still have it. Buen Camino.Many thanks for your responses!
I was trying to be independent and work it our for myself but asking for help was a GOOD ideaas I was getting nowhere fast (largely due to impatience on my part, I have to admit)
You have helped me decide where to fly to (Madrid) and where to start from (Burgos).
Why am I walking the Camino? Because I feel like I just have to and that feeling won't let me go!
Thanks again!
As I detest flying I would choose Bilbao, less time in air. From there, there are regular buses to Burgos. Ryanair, Vuelling and BA have non stop flights from UK. I have bussed both routes and without a doubt, the scenery from Bilbao is quite spectacularMany thanks for your responses!

trying to organise a trip for myself and my daughter for next July to August ... whole route.
I think the "at least 25 km" was tied to the Burgos starting place. If they couldn't count on that, Ponferrada was suggested.@AlwynWellington :
- why "get going by sunrise"? I have never ever started before 8am even in the summer (on 10 different Caminos, some of them I repeated).
- why "at least 25 km"? My shortest stage was only 6km and the longest 42km.
If they want to spend 19 days together none of these two things are important.
Hi, I'd advise you keep within your daily walking limit (not knowing the age of your daughter).Am trying to organise a trip for myself and my daughter for next July to August - 21 days in total - and, accepting that this is no way enough time to complete the whole route on foot, am starting to feel a little overwhelmed about where to start!

- why ... ?
Thanks. Also I've seen favorable comments on Diego Diaz, owner of the Burgos bike store "Velobur."In Burgos (and maybe even earlier in Logrono) you can rent bikes to be returned in Leon or Astorga.
There are a number of places where you can rent. Here are some links I've collected (but the list may not be complete):
