    "What a hardcore thru-hiker can learn on the Camino de Santiago"

    This is really cool, and the analogies are well represented and you can see where he is coming from. It's a down-to-earth view without letting pre-conceived ideas cloud judgment too much, all from someone you might not expect it from.

    caminos with shorter stages?

    What a beautiful sounding route!

    Pilgrimage - selfish?

    The OP has a point. Getting to the Camino is going to be in some way detrimental to our planet - how much is just a guess. Walking past concrete buildings with screaming animals in as happened to me in Galicia should never fail to affect you, because if it does you are already too dead to...

    Wow this is so wonderful!

    A modern pilgrimage’s transformative power

    The actual article that the letter was written in response to is also really interesting.

    A modern pilgrimage’s transformative power

    Solo trip in 2 weeks?!

    A Camino sounds ideal for you, and you for the Camino. No point in rehashing what others have said. Go, walk, one foot in front of the other and discover yourself all over again.

    Next after Camino Frances

    The land through which the Norte goes is beautiful, and so very different to the CF. I really don't think you need to look much further, or over think things. The only observation would be that 4 weeks is probably not enough, so you would need to consider not doing the full route - and I think...

    "So what was your reason for walking the way?"

    I'm pretty sure I also got asked this when picking up my credencial in StJPdP.

    Has the Camino lost its way?

    I like this analogy in a way. I think it is quite certain that many of the "original" "pure" "whatever other adjective you wish" pilgrims were actually walking for fear of not being allowed entry to heaven for varying reasons. And one can only wonder if they had their scrolls and feather pens...

    What pushed or invited or drew you to set off for 'The Camino'?

    I'd love to be able to remember the very first moment I became aware of this thing called the Camino, but I can't! But for the last 15 years, our paths have constantly crossed, both physically and by way of books/docus etc - and it was always going to be something I was going to do "one day"...
