Hi donjohannes.
I’m not a native English speaker, so take it with a pinch of salt, but need to say I enjoyed the read. I found it captivating and also loved the pictures.
Best wishes.
Some mentioned above very accurately. No use in comparing previous experiences, I made that mistake though. :)
No camino like the first one, there’s not like the second, third or the tenth one either. You’ll enjoy all of them differently, I believe it doesn't necessarily mean in a lower degree...
I guess it depends on what you’re searching for.
If looking for solitude and reflection it may mean open wide spaces that would provide you the opportunity to be with your inner self. In contrast, if your bet is the social side of the route, it could be the company and camaraderie of your...
Good bet and terrifically envious of you WestKirsty. :)
I assume you know that from Haro to Santo Domingo runs the vasco interior to meet up with the frances.
Buen and joyful camino.
Meseta came to mind when I first read your thread on a Christmas walk. I’ve just walked once during Christmas time, and it had a nice and unique touch. It definitely will have its charm whatever the path you take.
Congrats roamingpaddy. You finally made it to the end of the world!
I’ve been enjoying all your posts over the last days, and assume those last stages have been demanding enough.
Time to relax and look back with fondness.
Hi Nikolaus.
Know little about those paths. What are facilities on both routes like? I mean accomodation, hostels… also, and at the risk of imposing on your kindness :), I’d like to know how busy they are in terms of people walking them.
Your projects sound great, and wish you the best. 💪
Lovely.
It is as boring and captivating as the well known meseta is. Open spaces provoking quiet and inspiring times that let you switch off from reality and break away.
Something in between from the busy frances or the portuguese to those other lesser trodden paths like mozarabe, lana or catalan.
Glad to know you are out there once again, and looking forward to your youtubes. Are you walking up to the spanish border? Hoping to cross it? Best wishes and buen camino all along your journey, Sara.
That’s really great news and worth celebrating. 🎈
Glad to know finally you’ve been able to reopen and hopeful I will drop by someday.
Wish you the best, Lee!
Hi @Kateline , from your words I understand you just met another pilgrim yesterday in San Sebastian and wonder approx. which the current figures on the Norte could be.
I think it was last sunday I read from another forum member that posted he had already seen a couple of groups walking through...
Good to know what the current situation on the Camino Norte is like, and grateful for letting us know about it.
It sounds good news and seems as if it’s somewhat getting back to normal. Let’s be positive and hope there’s no setback waiting for us just round the corner.
Pleased if you keep us...
An interesting point.
Depending on what I'm lookin for sometimes I lean toward those albergues that need you to be in fairly early in the evening, other times, as you also point out, I prefer not to be constrained by a curfew.
Fortunately, I’ve often had the chance to choose between them, as I...
