- Time of past OR future Camino
- Currently planning to walk the camino this summer.
Hi, this summer I'll have two weeks of holiday from work (the first two weeks of July) and I'd like to do the camino. It would be the first time I do the camino di Santiago.
I've mocked up this planning (probably from 1st July 2017 to 15th July 2017)
My questions about it are:
Thanks!!!
I've mocked up this planning (probably from 1st July 2017 to 15th July 2017)
- Day 1 => Plane from Venice to Lisbon
- Day 2 => Visit of Lisbon
- Day 3 => Bus from Lisbon to Porto
- Day 4 => Camino from Porto to S. Pedro de Rates. 20 Km

- Day 9 => Camino from Tui to Porrino. 17,6 Km.
- Day 10 => Camino from Porrino to Redondela. 16,7 Km.
- Day 11 => Camino from Redondela to Pontevedra. 18,4 Km.
- Day 12 => Camino from Pontevedra to Caldas de Reis. 24 Km.
- Day 13 => Camino from Caldas de Reis to Padron. 18,3 Km.
- Day 14 => Camino from Padron to Santiago de Compostela. 24 Km.
- Day 15 => Plane from Santiago to Venice
My questions about it are:
- How may days I have to count between Porto and Santiago? The are several blogs where I read that it takes between 8 and 12 days.
- With 14-15 days is it a good idea to walk the portughese camino or it should be better to walk the final 200km of the french one? As I said it would be my first time.
- is it a good idea to visit Lisbon or should be better to take a plane Venice - Porto and start immediately the camino. If I arrived too early I could continue to Finisterre and then came back to Santiago to take the plane. I mean, I could go to Lisbon in the future but maybe I will never have again the opportunity to walk between Santiago and Finisterre.
Thanks!!!
