I'm probably going to walk some of the Camino starting flying out of London either Christmas Eve, or Boxing day and finishing 8th or 9th January.
I walked from Pamplona to Burgos this year around the same time and absolutely loved it, the weather was much better than I expected, the scenery was beautiful, and I met some great people. Best of all though, it wasn't crowded.
Having walked that section twice this year though, I am trying to decide which bit to do in a couple of weeks. I will fly in from London, and need to coordinate airports and travel to and from the relevant sections of the Camino. One thought that came to mind is flying into Santiago and then bussing back to somewhere and walking back, maybe from Leon to Santiago. I didn't much like this section last time, mainly because it was so crowded (and I didn't enjoy Galicia as much), however I'm guessing in December/January it wouldn't be too crowded and there would be fairly good availability of albergues.
I wonder if anyone could give me any thoughts or advice please? What would that section be like? Or any other good sections they would recommend? What would a couple of hundred Kms on the Portuguese be like? Anyone else thinking of going around that time? From London?
