Due to the relatively short period I have to walk (and also because I was fortunate enough to be given and and French courses for Christmas!), wanting to make the most of the various scenery and enjoying different parts of the country and wishing to do the final 100km to Santiago, my tentative plans are to do bits and bobs of the various ways in 2016:
Via Podiensis:
Aumont-Aubrac to Figeac
Detour to Lourdes
Camino Frances:
SJPP to Pamplona
Camino Ingles:
Ferrol to Santiago
Am I crazy to do bits of 3 different routes? Or after walking in France, does anyone advocate me skipping the bit over the Pyrenees and simply walking from Leon to Santiago?
I was considering going from Sarria to Santiago after the SJPP-Pamplona leg, but it seems the vibe is rather different, and in the future, when I have more time, I can continue my journey straight from Pamplona to Santiago-Finisterre. It may be a little less social as I won't really be able to bump into various people over many stages, but that's ok.
Additionally (I thought I'd plug this bit here, but I'll ask in the Camino Ingles forum if anyone objects) is it difficult finding sellos in the smaller places on the Ingles? I understand a lot of the churches are closed at various times and it is less usual to get them in bars and the like. I'd hate to not receive my Compostella because I could not get a stamp in a town or two.
Cheers!
