But if you like to walk - the walking is still the same. The group I was with put in some pretty long days: 15 miles, 12 miles, 13 miles and an 18 mile day. And you still get blisters!
We took a train to Pamplona from Madrid and started our hike from there. We ended the hike in Longrono. Because we did this in April, we did not have any problem getting a bed in the hostels along the way. It was a wonderful hike: there were lots of hills and we hiked through wine and olive country. Each little town was perched on a hill, had a huge church in the center and many of the towns still had medieval walls.
We used this guidebook: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino de Santiago by John Brierley.
