- Camino Frances (September 23, 2018)
How long does it take to walk the entire Camino Francés, from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela?
John Brierley’s sense is that most people take 4 weeks. He describes a pace that will allow you to reach Santiago gracefully in 5 weeks — 35 days with 2 rest days. He likes the idea that he walks one day for every year that Christ lived on earth. Paco Nadal’s guide is divided in 30 stages. Antón Pombo’s guide is divided in 34 stages. The map distributed by the Association Les Amis du Chemin de Saint-Jacques - Pyrénées Atlantiques shows 34 stages. Carlos Mencos’s Buen Camino app suggests 32 stages. I plan to arrive at SJPdP in the evening of September 23 and walk my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Thirty-Three Days, Plus or Minus Three. I will celebrate my 50th birthday on October 28.
Thanks for your advice!
This depends on many factors such as level of fitness, weather, detours, motivation, time constraints, rest days, strains and sprains.
