No, much of it was on VERY narrow winding busy roads - wild yes! But not in the way you think :lol:

It was, however, a beautiful Camino!

Annie's right about the roads -- I just walked from Lisbon to Porto and I'd say 80% at least is on pavement. Usually not busy roads, but "wild" is not what I'd call it.

If you're looking for something less traveled and off-road, try the Camino del Salvador (4 or 5 days from Leon to Oviedo), followed by the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago. You can find posts on these routes in other sections of the Forum. I walked this route last September/October and it is pretty remote and has spectacular scenery.
