Given the challenges you encounter on the longest walk, the opposition of the author to ferries is odd
I'll gladly take a ferry or two if this allows me to escape mambas, armed robberies, war zones, hippos and temperatures of minus 37 C.
It is perhaps best to consult the safety considerations that your Government publishes.

Christine Thürmer is a mega distance walker - crossed North America and Europe east to west north to south, just crossed Chile and more. She’s an ultralight self contained hiker, has done all the big ones alone (APT, PCT, etc). Worth looking at her advice.

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Fot those who love leopard spotting, there is an Amur leopard in this picture,
I can't spot it; is the leopard's name Waldo?🙄
