- Time of past OR future Camino
- last week of September 2018
Sadly I don't have time to walk the camino, so I am having to cheat and drive the route, leaving Santander on Monday 24th September. Now, I know this won't make me a 'pilgrim' but please have a care before you huff and puff - it's this or I won't be able to do it for several more years. And as a fit 60 years old chap I don't want to wait too much longer.
Anyway, the reason for my post is - does anyone have any tips for driving the camino? I plan to get to Santiago by the Wednesday, stay overnight, drive on to Fisterra and then down to Vigo (to follow some of Laurie Lee's early route). I return to Santander, via Leon, all too early on the Saturday
Obviously I am not going to experience the 'feel' of the route as if I'd walked it, but I'd like to get as close as possible. Maybe camping along the way? Maybe paradors? I'll have an empty car (but for me) and am happy to transport stuff if anyone gets in a fix.
Any tips and advice would be very welcome.
Happy walking all.
