If I had just 2 weeks available to walk, I would start from Ponferrada
and do it as a single stretch into Santiago (205 km). With proper spacing
this is only about 9 miles per day average - a relatively easy schedule,
although it involves one long climb. I can't tell you much about the music
other than that there was a music school in Arca, next to the refugio,
in 2000. There is also an abundance of buskers in Santiago itself.

couple of friends and I are going to hike part of the Camino at the end
of April / beginning of May. All together, we have 2 or 3 weeks,
which is not much, and would like to know what part from South France to
Santiago would be recommended (maybe a couple of stretches of 80-100kms
or many parts totalling 150-200). We are not expert trekkers by any
means.</font></span><span class=170422216-09122002></span><span class=170422216-09122002><font size=-1>Another
thing that we are very interested in as well is music and we'd like to
make sure that there is places along the way where we could hear good local
