Where do you start if one is doing only 100 miles?

[SteveGarza]

I was told that in order for your pilgrimage to count when you arrive at Santiago, you have to have walked a minimum of 100 miles. Where is a good starting point for 100 miles? I'd walk longer, but my job won't allow me all the time in the world. Any information would be helpful.

In order to receive a compostela, one needs to have walked the last 100 kilometers. This means that you need to start in Sarria if you walk the Camino Frances.

This post from Annie shows the various options depending on which route you chose.

100 km minimum on foot.

My husband and I had only two weeks to do our Camino so we started in Ponferrada. You don't want to miss going over the pass to O Cebreiro and later, on the other side of Triacastela, taking the detour and visiting Samos. Buen Camino to you. Have a beautiful experience.

Starting at Sarria will accomplish the minimum required. For the certificate.
