Is April time 2022 too early in the walking season re weather?.Can you suggest a break or day off in a town en route?
My walking partner does have feet problems.
It depends on what you are looking for in your day off:
I would probably pick Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis, or Padron.
Pontevedra is probably the largest town en route. It has a number of nice museums and churches for plenty to see and do. If that is what you are looking for, it is your best choice.
Caldas de Reis, on the other hand, is a spa town centred around hot springs. If you want to relax and pamper yourself on your rest day and really rest, this is your best choice.
Padron, on the gripping hand, is the choice for those whose pilgrimage motivation is a bit more religious or centred on St. James. Aside from Santiago de Compostela itself, Padron is probably the place on any Camino that is most closely associated with the legends of the saint himself. It is here you can see where he is reputed to have preached when he was alive and here where you can see the stone marker (
padron) where the stone boat that fetched him back to Iberia after his martyrdom is supposed to have been moored. If seeing the Saint James sites attracts you, this might be your best choice.
