[By Cesar Rodriguez · local guide](https://santiago.es/en/author) This split comes from a calculation, not from a fixed guess: it takes the real route between Ferrol 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. Keep in mind At 5 days you go past the comfortable pace you asked for: some stage overshoots the profile's ceiling. To keep every stage within it you need 6 days. [See the plan with 6 days →](https://santiago.es/en/camino-de-santiago/planner/from-ferrol-in-6-stages) Keep in mind Day 1 is 27.9 km to Pontedeume, above the pace you chose.
