Our travels from Porto to Santiago will take 11 days. Time will be almost evenly spent between Portugal and Spain. All in all, we'll walk 242 kms. or about 150 miles. We have some relatively short days of only 18 kms, along with a couple 30+ km days. Overall, we'll average 22 km or 13 miles a day. As the terrain is relatively flat, we'll be able to walk at a very leisurely pace arriving at our daily destinations in the early afternoon. Plenty of coffee breaks are planned as we head north.

Our accommodations range from private rooms in small inns and monestaries to double rooms with shared bath in hostels to dormitory beds in albergues. As I did when walking the Camino Francés last year, we've booked our accommodations in advance. I'm not sure what size crowds to expect this early in the hiking season. In any case, I appreciated knowing that when I reached my destination that my bed was waiting for me. No hunting around for a place to stay! When it's busy on the Camino, reservations can really reduce the stress of getting a bed.
