My husband and I will be walking the Camino next year in June and are starting to consider logistics. We will be reserving our flights soon - using miles to buy the tickets, so we need to plan way ahead in order to get good flights. We will most likely fly from San Francisco to Madrid and then take a train or bus to our starting point. We will only have about 2.5 weeks for our Camino - I wish we could take more, but that is what we have to work with. I think that with about 17 or so days, we can reasonably walk around 300 km at a decent pace, but not be completely rushed - average of about 18 km per day. I think most days we would walk more, so this allows some time for contingencies - sore bodies wanting a day off or whatever. Does this seem reasonable? Leon would seem to be the most logical starting point at just over 300 km from Santiago - it also seems to have good connections from Madrid. What do you guys think? I have read that the walk out of Leon isn't the most inspired though, so maybe this isn't the best starting point?
