Hi David , why not walk till Samos that’s around 30km. In Samos you can visit the monastary .Hey all!
I'll start walking on the 25th of March from Astorga, and my flight is the 4th of April from Santiago.
Unfortunately I'll need to plan a bit aggressive plan due to the fact that my days are very limited.
My plan is to do a tour de force walking on day 5 from O'cebreiro to Sarria (40km).
Any experience on that specific path, someone tried the same?
Is there anyone which will be around those days on the way?
Thank you all

thank you Mark! great suggestions! I'll check them!I would suggest the following stages:

Now the point is that I need somehow to plan those 262 km in 10 days instead of 11, which is doable in my opinion, but I'm bit afraid of missing very nice villages just randomly splitting the stages to have a fair amount of Km.
I use Brierley too..The stages in the guidebooks are just suggestions - the author has to organize the walk in some fashion to make it digestible, but there isn't anything necessarily magical about the places at the end of the published stages - some are very nice, but there are really neat places in between stages too. And regardless of where you stop for the night, you'll walk through all the places - stopping for breakfast or lunch in some, maybe a coffee here and a cold beverage there, to see a church or museum...
So, if you want to average 26.2 km per day instead of 23.8 km, then go for it. I don't know what guide you are using, but I used Bierley and there was lots of information about the places between stages too. We sometimes stayed at the end of a published stage and sometimes not - just depended on where we ended up that day.
Below is a link for a nice planning site - you pick your starting and ending point, and then pick potential overnight stops - it will give you a plan with distances, elevations, etc. for your plan so you can see how things would look:

And from Samos you can take the bus into Sarria to save some distance.Hi David , why not walk till Samos that’s around 30km. In Samos you can visit the monastary .
Wish you well , Peter .
