Hi all! I am brand new to the group and started learning about the Camino last week. I plan to walk in May/June of 2025. I will have about three weeks total for travel to/from the USA and I definitely want to do Santiago to Finisterre. So, I’m thinking I have 12-14 days for my Camino (not including Finisterre). I’m considering a week at the beginning and end of Frances. Or the Litoral/Coastal/Central/Variant combination of the Portuguese. Or something else advised by you! Would love your thoughts on a newbie’s walk. I do not have much travel experience, so that will be new too. As for hiking, I hike in the California USA mountains, but haven’t done much more than 15km in a single hike and not back to back. I hike everyday about 5km with elevation. I am raising my mileage and have more local hiking trips planned, which I didn’t realize were preparation until I was struck by Camino dreams last week!
Edit: I prefer countryside to city. And trails to roads. The last 100km of CF being described sometimes as a “circus” does not appeal to me…though the CF does appeal to me in that it appears to be less pavement and cobblestones. I speak some Latin American Spanish. No Portuguese, but I have time to learn at least a bit.
