that&#8217;s 34 days of walking, and adding in the odd rest day \u2014 in Pamplona, Burgos or Le\u00f3n, for example \u2014 most pilgrims plan for five to six weeks to complete it at an easy pace. Those with less time available tackle it in sections over several years, or choose a starting point further along the route to fit the Camino to the days they have.

Here&#8217;s a portrait of each section, designed to help you decide which stages best fit your time and fitness.
