[QUOTE="sun is shining, post: 1177024, member: 11129"] Dear all, Sometimes you don't see the forest for all the trees, so I'm seeking some advice here. My partner and I have the chance to walk a Camino route next spring but now that - after years of waiting - the opportunity presents itself I feel surprisingly un-enthusiastic about possible routes. A bit about our plans here: - my third (Frances, VdlP), his first Camino - experienced long-distance hikers - carrying a tent (we are hiking the Fishermen's Trail first, happy to send our camping gear to Santiago if we don't need it) but otherwise we are looking for albergues to stay in - start from somewhere accessible from the end of the FT - Madrid would likely be the most eastern point possible but obviously flexible on that - end in Santiago because our onward flights leave from there. Ending in Santiago is also important to me on a more pilgrim-based level and I would be looking into getting a vicare pro Compostela - 28 walking days. We are fast walkers and enjoy that - it's just our natural walking rhythm - and happy to do long stages - mid March to mid April - dates are not flexible unfortunately I know that the obvious answer is the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon but there are two things that make me hesitate. a) We are both learning Spanish so spending time in Spain would lead - obviously - to speaking more Spanish. b) We both normally prefer more remote locations than what you find on a typical Camino but Portugal seems even more so? Adding to that, for me personally a Camino means a certain degree of "suffering" / penance - hence I'd prefer somewhere with less facilities, more basic accommodation, possibly more challenging terrain... This will be the last time - for the foreseeable future -- that we'll have the chance to walk a Camino and I would like it to be more of a bare-bone pilgrimage instead of a route full of facilities. Any pointers would be much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
