No rules about how long you take. Just the 200km with at least 2 stamps per day.
Yes. All the same. No rules about daily distances. Or the number of rest days. Just make sure that you get the stamps to show that you are making your way towards Santiago at whatever speed.So I could do the last 200km in 2 days with 4 stamps, or 30 days and 60 stamps, it's all the same? And a rest day (or days) with no travel are okay too?

I walked the Camino Frances in 1990 when the proportion of cyclists to walkers was actually higher than today. But the big difference was the bikes themselves. At that time cyclists used road touring bikes which would have been wrecked if they attempted many of the off-road paths. Instead they found alternative parallel routes. I think that a lot of the conflict and antagonism between cyclists and walkers on the Caminos in recent years lies in the shift towards the use of off-road mountain bikes and a corresponding determination by cyclists to make use of paths previously deemed impractical.During the 1970s and 1980s, the present mostly off-road route was determined and marked to avoid the need for pedestrians using the road. So, while both routes cover the same daily starting and ending places, and while some of the off-road paths ARE the original path, a route that keeps both walking and cycling pilgrims separate almost all the time, is available.
Is it also necessary to get 2 sellos a day on the second day, if for instance I arrive in Portomarin and stay there for two nights and continue then my way to SdC?The requirement to have at least two sellos each day remains the same. So yes, you might be able to do two, consecutive “century” rides. Just make certain you obtain at least two sellos each day. I always recommend getting more than two if it is possible.

You can get the same sello, different date. Its not a competition. If you spend two nights in the same accommodation ask them to provide you with two separately date-stamped sellos. If you spend two evenings in the same bar you can do likewise.Is it also necessary to get 2 sellos a day on the second day, if for instance I arrive in Portomarin and stay there for two nights and continue then my way to SdC?
