As this is the first time to do this, I would like to do a short one - kind of testing. After reading those blogs, I think of starting from from Leon. Given 305 km from Leon to SC, roughly 20km per day, one may cover the entire the journey within 15 days. Yes, it is merely my wild guess, leaving time to enjoy the walk as well. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am now worried whether I can keep up the pace and the weather. My initial plan is to kick off from 17 Oct, finish it by the beginning of Nov. Then I can revisit Porto/Lisbon/Seville/Madrid to home, not sure if this is doable but I am quite flexible. By the way, I have just ordered the passport ;-) from Ivar.
