At first glance it may seem many steps and many kilometers, but we remind you that this is not a race, It is a path to make our pace and enjoy the journey, but we remind you that sometimes shelters are full and you may have to go try their luck to find a place, so it is advisable to arrive early and make sure you have a place to sleep and leave early the next day to continue the route.
