Suggestions for a 5 day journey...

Hi all...

I just stumbled across this site and I'm looking for suggestions for a 5 day trip. My fiancee and I are planning to head to spain in about 2 weeks and are planning on taking a bus/train to the camino.

Given the short timeframe, what would you suggest for the short trip?

thanks!

Well... 5 days is short I guess. Ehm... If you want to "earn" your Compostella and be able to collect it in Santiago, I suggest you start in Sarria. That is the last starting point and it's about... 100 - 110km to Santiago.

If you just want a nice walk, there are many places you can start from or walk to. What do you like? Do you like it flat? Or do you prefer mountains??

Hey all. I haven't been on the forum for quite sometime (years probably). I walked the Camino Frances in 2016 and to say it was life changing for me is an understatement. On day 3, at the café at...
The logical thing for me to do is bring a Kindle, but TBH I like books, and for me leaving electronic gubbins behind while I do the Camino, appeals. I am thinking of taking one book on The...
I am just back from a few weeks on the Via the la Plata. Since 2015 I have been nearly every year in Spain walking caminoroutes I loved the café con leches. This year I did not like them as much...
