I'll be on the Portuguese around this time but next year hoping to do the San Salvador/Primitivo for my 60th birthday. Please let us know how you get on in regards to weather/difficulty etc and good luck finding someone to walk with.

I notice you have done many Caminos. My only Camino was in May...

Hi, Have you walked the Camino de Gran Canaria ? I have 2 weeks from the 16th December and undecided whether to Island hop or stay on just one island. Are there any thru hikes you can recommend? Thanks.
