Hi!
I’m a Camino newbie planning on walking Camino del Norte this May-June.
I have previous hiking experience and do well on longer distances and so on, but not any super recent multi day long hikes. So I’m planning on really taking my time on this route as I have read and understood that it can be quite challenging.
So, my question is, is it possible to walk shorter distances than the recommended daily routes of about 25 km between the albuerges? Or will me taking my time (I’ve got around 50 days to do it) mean walking 25 km and then taking rest days, if I want to stay in albuerges as much as possible and not hotels?
Many thanks to you taking your time to answer!
