Our traveller is interested in a trip but has the following considerations- 1. Short walking days, max 10/12kms 2. Easy to moderate terrain 3. Easy to moderate ascents and descents 4. Mostly overnights in Albergues, with rest days in more upmarket accommodation with laundry facilities Could you please assist with this?

We only have 2 Camino itineraries currently, this one that your enquiry has come through on and our walking the Portuguese Camino - trip code WPC. We tend to stay in hotels on these tours and the walking days are of similar lengths 13 minimum -22km per day. I don't have an itinerary with shorter walks apologies. Both itineraries are considered a level 3 - Moderate.

The guided tour of Leon and seeing the magnificent cathedral and many of the beautiful buildings in the city. Staying just off the cathedral Square was wonderful, even though it was a Hostal! Ascending to the Iron Cross was just just so special, and seeing the changes in landscapes, vegetations, and long vistas was one of the best days of the walk. Of all the hostals/ hotels that we stayed in, the Pazo de Sedor, my highlight, as was the set dinner that we had there. Of course the final day, looking down towards Santiago, seeing the spires/ towers of the cathedral, and finally walking into the cathedral Square, to join the others in our group was just incredible!
