[QUOTE="Barbara, post: 162369, member: 333"] I first saw the Camino Frances in 2000, when I cycled from home in France. I started walking from home, a bit at a time, in 2009, after walking the Norte and Primitivo. I got a bus home from Castrojeritz last week because I couldn't cope with the squalor I found on the Camino itself. Every tree had its snowdrift of toilet paper and worse. Cups, bottles, sweet wrappers underfoot. My decision was also influenced by the people who insisted on getting up at five in the morning in order to walk for two hours in the dark, and not caring who they woke in the process. It seems that they wish to go to bed at eight and for everyone to be silent for them, but they are unable to extend the same courtesy to others. Many walkers were having a great sporting and holiday experience, but with no idea of the origins or intention of the, dare I say, pilgrimage they were undertaking. I attended Mass in Santo Domingo, with every albergue full. More than I could say for the church. How many of those people will be claiming a compostella? Sorry, Saint James, but I won't be walking the rest of the Camino Frances. [/QUOTE]
