Where to start if I have only 5 days?

Dear all,

I'd like to walk from Porto to Santiago in 10 days. My friend who can only take 5 days holiday would like to join me for the second half of our pilgrimage. She lives in Bordeaux. Any suggestion where would be a good point for her to start, i.e. where she can get with the transports and we can still be in Santiago within 5 days?

Many thanks for all suggestions.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
If your friend wishes to follow Falcon's advice she can take a Eurolines bus from Bordeaux to Valenca do Minho and then walk across the river on Eiffel's International bridge to Tui. However you might both meet in Valenca do Minho and cross the bridge together. For other Bordeaux/Tui transports see www.Rome2Rio.com.

Happy planning and Buen camino!
