Are you still going by bike/tricycle?I chose Pamplona to start because I have history in Pamplona and Burgos.
It is 708km. It normally takes 30 to 32 days. Accommodations are plentiful except during the Sanfermines festival.How many kms/ miles was it from Pamplona to santiago?
How many days did it take you?
Is it true that accommodations in Pamplona are difficult for pilgrims?
So the Camino Frances is the more popular one based from the forums and I am curious as to why not a lot of pilgrims do the Camino portugese? Or is it relatively the same amount of pilgrims.
Is scenery more beautiful taking the frances?
I'm off to do the Portugues in late Sept. Have done the Del Norte and found that one rewarding and peaceful but also enough people not to be by yourself if you choose.Hmm that is something to think about... I am leaning toward the Camino Portugese now, and I googled it, it is a walk with more solitude and is exactlh what i would prefer to bs honest. Thank you, useful info.
I think I will do the same, I have decided... Another question, i have tried to look this up but maybe I can get some info... Where can I buy the pilgrim passport? Will it be available only in Spain?
Hola Kriscaj - and welcome to the forum. How far you walk is up to you, provided that you must walk at least the last 100 km into Santiago to qualify for your Compostela (the Cathedral Certificate). After that it then depends upon how much time you and how fit you are. So if time is not a factor then you can start in St Jean, but from all the reports I have read Burgos (where El Cid is berried) or Leon will still provide you with a "Camino experience". So read through all the replies you will get and determine when you want to start and off you go.

If you are looking for more solitude than the Camino Frances, you might also take a look at the Camino Primitivo (from Oviedo) or the Ingles. I've walked the Primitivo (the Ingles, not yet), and it is a beautiful journey. There are separate areas on this Forum for information about the other routes less traveled.Hmm that is something to think about...
