- Time of past OR future Camino
- May 2017
Hi, i've enjoyed searching and reading this forum over the past month. Such and active and fun group of contributors. So thanks in advance!
My father (68) and i (35) have a small window to walk. We arrive in Madrid early morning May 14 and fly out the afternoon Of the 24th. Our main objective is to have some good father son time and enjoy some of the camino experience. My question i'm struggling with is what would be a good part of the trail to walk and is it worth trying to finish in Santiago since the last 100k seem to be more commercialized? How important is it recieving the compostela?
For me, I'd prefer to walk in as much beautiful wilderness and dirt trails as possible, so i was looking into starting in roncevalles. But for my father this might be his only chance to walk, so a trail closer to Santiago may be better... Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.
