I really wanted to walk on el CAMIÑO de Santiago but I did not want to walk 15 miles a day.
At 64 with some back and foot trouble, I wanted a tour that offered logistical support and cultural education. I could not carry a heavy pack and worried that my feet might hurt too much if I walked too far each day. Seven to ten miles was plenty for me. It allowed me to enjoy coffee on the roadside, take pictures of wild flowers, watch the dogs herd cattle, etc. It also allowed me to travel with a friend who had knee issues and less hiking experience. I knew she would have the support she might need. Luckily we were both able to walk the entire 115 km. We were able to afford single rooms so got the alone time we needed. Lodging and food were nice and local. Great logistical support. Helpful, encouraging guides.
