Thousands of pilgrims from all nationalities walk the Camino de Santiago routes each year (over 300,000 in 2018 alone!) but not all of them spend a whole month walking the 500 miles that separate St Jean Pied de Port and Santiago de Compostela. Many pilgrims start their journey further along the routes, much closer to Santiago, adapting their distance to their fitness level or indeed to the time they have available.
It is possible to experience the magic of the Camino even if you only have limited time at your disposal, here's how to plan a great Camino in one week:
100 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER
This is the number of kms you should complete if you are travelling on foot and you'd like to receive your Compostela pilgrim certificate once you reach Santiago. Consider this if receiving the cert is important to you!
This means you'll have to should be starting your walk from the town of Sarria in Galicia if you'd like to experience the Camino Frances, which is the most famous and popular route. Sarria is the pilgrim's top starting point for this reason.
Over a week, you will be walking an average of 20-25kms per day which, with a bit of training, is definitely manageable. More details about this route here: CAMINO FRANCES FROM SARRIA.
You can also walk the Camino Portugues from Tui, from Baiona to experience the Camino Portugues Coastal, from Lugo to take the Camino Primitivo and Ferrol to walk the Camino Ingles in one week also, see all the week-long trips into Santiago here: LAST 100KMS INTO SANTIAGO.
