Here you can download an actual list of refuges and other alternative accomodations like hostales, hotels and other places to sleep along the camino.Lets say she gets tired or I get tired from the 15kg pack, do you have to keep walking till the next way point or are places to stay at frequent intervals?

You can do a virtual walk using Google Street View:the first two days out of SJPDP are mostly uphill.

In the course of a day on the Camino, you can stop as much as you want. There were some days when I stopped a lot. I'd go a few kilometers, stop and sit in the shade, eat an orange, walk for an hour, stop, walk for an hour, and eventually roll into whatever town I was gonna stay at. Some days, I would go a long way without stopping. I really started paying attention to how I was feeling.
Remember, it's a walk, not a race.

fortview said:Hi,
With advice from this forum, endless hours spent in outdoor shops, packing, and repacking, my rucksack weighed 5kgs complete with water and food !
As I got used to walking and carrying this weight , I could carry more and over the course of the Camino bought things as they were needed. These were : an Altus poncho , a fleece hat, fleece gloves, more toiletries, deep heat cream, a torch, and a long sleeved t shirt and an extra fleece jumper and proper hiking sandals.
There is no shortage of shops, and it worked out better than fine for me . Many people were surprised at how light my pack was
And some days I only managed 10 Kim's but there's always places to stay and not all of them are in guide books !
Buen camino
