Eight days

[Richard Ferguson]

40 km/day sounds huge to me.  The issue in my mind is how many days in a row can you do
that?  I suggest planning 30 km/day,  to allow time to look around, etc.  (I suggest 20 km/day
for the average pilgrim). If you need to do 40 km some day because you did fewer km another
day, you will have that option.

It sounds like you have allowed zero days in Santiago, I suggest a minimum of 24 hours there,
I was happy to spend more than 48 hours there.

Jet lag will take it's toll on the first few days, I usually figure to lose a day at each end to jet
lag, and I was subpar for several days on my pilgrimage, could not get my sleep schedule
straightened out.

If you walk two different segments, you would necessarily spend some time, maybe most of a
day, using public transport to connect the segments, with the accompanying hassle.  To do
three separate sections in 8 days sounds like a joke rather than a good plan, one that would
only make sense if you have a support vehicle and driver.

It all sounds so hurried that it would seem to be defeating the purpose of a pilgrimage.  Kind of
like a "If this is Tuesday, I must be in Galicia" bus tour.  I would drastically cut back and
simplify your plan.
