A good choice. Scenic. Good infrastructure.Start in Leon
What's your motivation for walking? Extreme sports? Then, sure, shoot for the moon and start in Burgos.CONTEXT/ASSUMPTIONS: I have 21 days to do the Camino Frances and I'd like to go all the way to Finisterre. If I assume I'll lose one day travel TO my starting point on the Camino and 1 day FROM the ending point plus allow myself 2 additional buffer days for sickness/injury/rest. I must complete my travels in 14 days.
Which would you choose and why?
A. Start in Burgos knowing that it will be a challenge to maintain 26 miles per day over 14 days and that it is likely I'll bus ahead on an occasion or two to keep pace
OR
B. Start in Leon and give myself a little less pressure by reducing miles as well as the need to bus ahead?
Start by subtracting 4 from 21! That leaves you with 3 extra days!CONTEXT/ASSUMPTIONS: I have 21 days to do the Camino Frances and I'd like to go all the way to Finisterre.

We couldn't do it all at once due to work/ holiday time constraints , it wasn't how I wanted to walk, in stages, but better that than not go- or maybe wait until retirement but then be physically unable! So have you considered doing what you can in your time frame and leave the rest to be walked when the time is right/ available rather than squeezing it in? Whatever you choose, our path continues anyway when we have begun the camino - as it says on the little slip of paper we were given by the nuns in a small church outside of Pamplona - "if you allow the camino to inhabit you, to transform you and to make you a pilgrim" . Sincere best wishes to you on your walk.CONTEXT/ASSUMPTIONS: I have 21 days to do the Camino Frances and I'd like to go all the way to Finisterre.

It could be a white martyrdom, depending on one's intentions.November Moon, I had to laugh because a woman I walked with said it was a Pilgrimage not a martyrdom. Well said.
