I've walked the Camino de Santiago in 175-mile segments 5 times.

This is a dream of mine. I went to France and Spain a few years back. We stayed a few days in the south of France and I read up on the trip and have been fascinated since.

Awesome. I've walked from Porto, Portugal to Santiago, in addition to different Camino routes in Spain. In 2018, I trekked 165 miles from Toulouse, France to Roncevalles, Spain. I have endurance in spades.

Wow, no argument here! ЁЯШГ Were those just trips of a lifetime? I can only imagine how beautiful they must have been. How did you train for them?

I'm an avid hiker and half marathoner so my legs and feet were strong. I increased my walking distances and number of hours on long walks. I plan to go back again; I love the zen of trekking across Spain.

I commented above -- I walked the whole thing in 1994. I am with you on this. Would love to do it again.
