    Frances or Norte, the social aspect

    Hi, I am starting my Camino early June, and the one thing I do not want to do is over think this, as at the end of the day, it is "just*" a walk, get up walk, and repeat. So KISS, keep it simple stupid. I have booked a flight to Bordeaux and was set on the Frances, however from what I am reading...
