Walking the Camino de Santiago
If you’re considering walking the entire Camino de Santiago following the French Way you’ll need to allow in the region of six weeks to complete it assuming a daily progress of 20-25km and with few rest days. Unfortunately, few people have that much time on their hands and/or they simply aren’t fit enough for such an expedition.
Therefore, a very interesting alternative is to arrange a tour with a specialist company which will arrange for you to walk some of the route at your own pace without a rucksack in sight. They will transfer your luggage daily to that night’s accommodation whilst you stroll along at leisure. Here are some of the most popular Camino de Santiago tours.
