Supposedly the Camino Portugues- litoral (coastal road) from Porto to Redondela would meet your requirements. In Galicia the ups and downs are not avoidable however.[...] So this question is for people who have walked a lot of different caminos: which ones were particularly flat?[...]
Hola!This is a serious question! Some years ago I had break off walking the Via de la Plata because it got too hilly for my hip and knee injuries, and there is one stretch of the Camino Francés that I will never walk again. Just looking at the profile maps of the Norte makes me reach for my Ibuprofen!
So this question is for people who have walked a lot of different caminos: which ones were particularly flat?
This year, we walked half the Camino de Madrid, which was (apart from the horrible day leading to Segovia) lovely and flat.
My husband and I have been talking about putting me on a bus for the very hilly stretches, but it's more fun to walk together, so I'm hoping for replies like "From X to Y on Camino Z you will find a flat stretch of 200 km..."
I have a French Rando book for the Chemin Catalan , it starts in Arles and uses canal walk paths for large sections as far as Narbonne, the historical way the Via Domitia is mostly under dual carriageways, but from Narbonne you could head to Carcassonne and Toulouse on the canal du Midi, all these places have historical connections to the Camino.Oh, and you could always walk the Canal du Midi variant of the Arles route. O desnivel! SY
The ones I walked : Portugues from Porto except for the etapa from Ponte de Lima to Rubiaes with the Alto da Portela Grande.
Still looking for flat(tish) recommendations - I can do a bit more of climbing now, but I do notice my limitations!
(Since the last time, we've finished the Camino de Madrid, walked Lisbon to Porto, started the Levante and the Ecumenical - to be finished other years) and done another 200K of the Via de la Plata.)
Mine too. Even the Olvidado and the San Salvador/Primitivo were flat. My walking place every day here has 0° inclination.My flattest Camino to date has been.... the Virtual!
