The Camino from Lugo in 5 stages
This is a calculated split, not the only possible one: it comes from the real route and the hostels on record at each stop.
This split comes from a calculation, not from a fixed guess: it takes the real route between Lugo and Santiago de Compostela, and the hostels on record at each stop, with their bed count and opening season. Asked for 5 days, this is what comes out.
Day 1: 19.5 km. Day 2: 13.0 km. Day 3: 19.6 km. Day 4: 24.3 km, the longest stage. Day 5: 23.9 km, the 100 km Compostela threshold falls here
