Yes, I have just spent 24 hours in that fair city. It only took one of those little climbs in the city to quickly show me how much of my Camino fitness I have already lost!!Kiwi-family said:I live in a city of 30 volcanoes and have to do at least a 200m ascent/descent to get anywhere from my house every time I walk out the front door!)
If it is distance you are aiming for and you are not afraid of hills you could try the Norte route, round to Oviedo and then onto the Primitivo. Also on Gronze and in CSJ guides. (This might make the distance too short)Kiwi-family said:Thanks so much for all that help. I've got something to play with now.
I have a little plan which requires walking 1000km. Googlemaps roughly estimates Bordeaux to Fisterre via Gijon and Santiago (of course!) to be 1,021km. That means I could take the FEVE out of Santander and still cover 1000km!
Off to look at those elevations and compare the different sites. A preliminary squiz at them makes me think there is nothing *too* strenuous (remembering I live in a city of 30 volcanoes and have to do at least a 200m ascent/descent to get anywhere from my house every time I walk out the front door!)
Fret not! There is some flat walking although not all that much. If you like the sea then in places you can walk on the beach (it can lead to the skin on your feet softening and blisters next dayKiwi-family said:Is there ever any flattish walking on the Norte or is it all either up or down?
