- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Frances, Muxia/Fisterra (Dec/Jan 2016) Way of St. James - Luxembourg (July/Aug 2018)
Hello all,
I'm a lurker and rarely post, but would deeply appreciate some suggestions. My friend and I are walking the French Way starting Jan 1 and we have until approx Jan 15 (maybe a few days longer).
The obvious thing to do would be to count backwards and start at the furthest possible point (we want to go all the way to Muxia -- that's for sure), but we are also open to skipping around a bit (I know that offends purists, but time is a factor).
This will be my first trip out of the US since I was 19 (I'm 49 now), and seeing and experiencing Spain (scenery and culture) is as important to me as the walk itself.
Obviously, we are going to do the last 100 km sequentially, but I'd be interested in hearing thoughts on if it would be better to just start as far from Santiago as we can, time allowing, and walk a continuous stretch, or whether it would be better to start in say, St Jean or somewhere else interesting, walking a bit, then busing and resuming further down the Camino.
I've been researching interesting things along the way, but I know that the interesting things and most magical places/experiences don't always show up in tourist guidebooks.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Faith
