Hi Sylvia - only just saw your reply, sorry for not getting back to you. This is my first time with JY & I hope I can get in touch with others before the trip. Just hope there are others interested. ?

Hi I wonder if anyone has already done the trip. ( Walking the Camino de Santiago) Just wondered if it's too strenuous- I do walk every day - but have to admit it's only a couple of miles.

The Camino the Santiago is an amazing trip, I highly recommend it! You can start with a short route, like the English Way or Camino Inglés,  which is only 119 km, the minimum to be given the Compostela. I'd recommend to do it in summer - Winter can get quite cold and rainy, not ideal for being walking the whole day! 

If you like it and feel you can walk more, either the French or Portuguese way are very good options. Booking a backpack transfer service also makes things easier - in my last trip, I had back pain and had to use this service a couple of times, completely worth it! Hope this helps

Day 2 - 3.2 miles – 90 minutes

Day 3 - 3.1 miles – 90 minutes

Day 4 - 3.1 miles – 90 minutes

Day 5 - 3.7 miles – 2 hours

Day 6 - 3.1 miles – 90 minutes

Day 7 - 1.9 miles – 2 hours

A good reason to gradually increase your current daily walks in advance?

I did this trip in early October and absolutely loved it. It didn't find it strenuous at all. Everyone walks at their own pace. All the walks are completely different with some beautiful scenery along the way. I would recommend wearing walking boots just because the terrain can be uneven on some of the walks. You also visit some wonderful cities along the way. Have fun!
