Destination – Santiago de Compostela

There are many towns along the Camino-Frances route and therefore many different “ways” you can transit it depending on how far you want/can walk each day. This is my planned walking route but there is a good chance it won’t be the actual walking route ’cause as Robert Burns once penned, “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Loosely translated from Scottish to Australian: “Even the best plans can go to guano”. But even so, another smart fella, ol’ Benny Franklin once said “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”

So here we are. Enjoy it while it lasts.
