Sarria to Santiago in 5 days

[Cbok82]

Just booked flights to start our first Camino in Sarria on the 4th of September looking advice on how doable it is with 5 days of walking and any advice on where the stop off points should be along the way?? We would ideally like to be walking 20-25km per day. Also will it be warm?? Thanks Cherie

5 day's will be no problem.
It's very hot at the moment, but the temperature in September I don't know.

Wish you well and a Buen Camino , Peter .

115 km in 5 days. Most do it without a problem provided they have paid some heed to all the advice about pack-weight and foot-wear. www.gronze.com is as good a place as any to explore possible stop-offs. The advice is stop when you are ready or when you are somewhere that you think you might like to spend some time. The wealth of accommodation on this stretch, balanced by the high numbers of pilgrims, means you need to go with the camino: all plans will go awry.

As for temperatures? In a months time who knows but the Iberian peninsula is predicted to endure a lethal heat wave over the next few days. It depends where you are from and what you are used to but September in Galicia is generally like high-summer in the UK (including the rain )

The temperature should still be rather hot...but there is no way of telling now.

any advice on where the stop off points

Whenever you are tired or done for the day. Opportunities are available almost every 5 km.

Thanks for all the advice I guess it's a case of just going with the flow and seeing where it takes me! Can't wait to get started

Day 1 Sarria to Portomarin
Day 2 Portomarin to Palas de Rei
Day 3 Palas de Rei to Ribadiso
Day 4 Ribadiso to Pedrouzo
Day 5 Pedrouzo to Santiago

Early September should be very pleasant but always pack rain gear in Galicia.

Buen Camino!

Have fun.

Five days is very doable.

Buen camino.

looking advice on how doable it is with 5 days of walking

My response, along with all the world, is VERY DOABLE.

But have regard to @Tincatinker re weight etc. Also make sure you have stamina of mind and body to endure any sling and arrows that you may encounter.

And kia kaha (you take care, be strong, get going)
