Cycling the camino frances in October 2016
Holla amigos,
I have a flight to Spain in the 28th of September and still I didn't dicided if I am walking or cycling the camino de frances.

I have only 9 days (full days) to travel. And I am arriving from Madrid to the camino.
It will be nice to get any advices from the expiriance travelers here in the forum.

Of I have only 9 day to travel, what is the best part of the camino de frances to cycle?
And the same for walking. Which part is the naturest and the funniest one.

Happy to get any advice.
Thanks,
Asher

You could walk the Camino Madrid! But if you want to walk on the Francès and don't want to waste too much time travelling, then perhaps start from Pamplona or Logroño (both on the direct train line from Madrid) and just see how far you get.
 
I think you should first decide if you want to cycle or walk as this will determine what to pack.
Also, is it important for you to arrive in Santiago or not?

IMO there isn't a best part of the Camino, it is the day after day experience, the variation and the people you meet alongside the way and your fellow pilgrims that make the Camino different.

Buen Camino, SY
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I am going to walk the camino and I have decided not to pass saint Jean de port.
