In reply to Swarnalata. Hi Swarnalata, there's not much elevation for the last 100km of it and the elevation that there is gradual so it's not very steep. I'm not sure about the rest since I haven't walked all of it. Buen Camino!

Hi laurel, just loved your clear discriptive routine of the camino. Been planning for awhile to do it. Just worried about my knees . I do a lot of training but have knee problems besides I’m 61 years old. Would love any input you could give

In reply to Pip Lee. @Pip, thank you for your kind words. It's a gentle trail and there are villages you could stop in along the way but you'd still need to be able to walk (I'm guessing) at least 8 -10 km a day since there are stretches without villages for a few km. Note that's just for the last 100 km. I haven't done the whole trail so can't comment on the part before that. Best of luck if you decide to do it.

Hi Laurel, loved your description of the journey, could almost smell the eucalyptus Just to ask your opinion as to whether you feel this route would be suitable for someone with mobility issues i.e. can't walk far in one burst! I appreciate it would take waaaaaaay more time to complete but I saw it recommended on another site as a good route for very slow walkers and disabled. Having done the walk, it would be good to have your thoughts on it. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.

In reply to Manu wamussaa. @Manu Fortunately I usually announce where I'm going beforehand so you can easily avoid me as I won't be staying home :).

Thanks for your wonderfully written journey. I only heard about this hike from a friend last night who is planning to do it in May this year. Googled and came across your page and shared it with her. After reading your journey, it makes me want to plan my trip as well and to get in shape for it. Thanks again for sharing this.

Wow. I would never want to run across you on ANY of my trips. I’ve hiked all over the world and your comments make me think you should stay home
