All good suggestions above.My 18 year old son and I have been walking the Camino Frances since July 7th. Other than an overnight in Orisson to avoid the long one day trek to Roncesvalles and two nights in Burgos for some well needed rest, we are on track with the stage suggestions in John Brierley’s book.
Over the last few days I developed tendinitis in both ankles and the doctor in Frómista (excellent urgent care centre) wrapped my feet and told me not to walk for 3 days.
I am devastated.
Due to the rest day in Burgos, we were already one day behind schedule and knew we would have to take a bus for one stage. Now we are 3 more days out.
Any suggestions for where we can spend it meaningfully?
There is a Benedictine Monastery in Camino de Rabanal that takes guests for a few days of quiet contemplation, but that is 7 stages ahead of us.
Any suggestions?

I totally agree with you my fellow pilgrim!Ignore the Stages in Brierley’s book.
They are age and fitness dependent, many people have injuries trying to do too much.
My observation is that around 50% have some by Burgos.
I like the saying “if you want to arrive like a young person, start off like an old one.. slow and shorter distances”
Tendinitis got me on my first many years ago by walking too fast and too far. It can take time to recover, I found ice helped.
Best wishes

When I walked with my fit 35 yo son in 2017 I tried to keep up with his speed & mileage. I did my knee in. Are you trying to match your 18 yo's pace?/ Mileage?My 18 year old son and I have been walking the Camino Frances since July 7th.
