[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 55696, member: 537"] Hi, LT, Yes, you are right -- at least for me, the Norte had much less of that "camino feeling." Maybe it's because it goes through so many touristy (but beautiful) towns, and maybe it's because I wound up staying frequently in non-pilgrim accommodations, so there wasn't that sharing at the end of the day. I will say that I found the section of the norte from about Luarca onward to have more of a camino feel, and especially in Galicia. The albergues in Mondonedo, Baamonde, Miraz, and Tapia were super. I assume that as the numbers grow, the numbers of albergues will grow and the camino bubble will get stronger. Another downside, from my point of view, was the huge amount of asphalt. If you have the Vdlp firmly planted in your brain, and knowing all the potential downsides and difficulties it is still calling, then hey, you should go for it. You may be lucky with the weather, you may tolerate the weather just fine, or you may decide to abort at some point and move over to another Camino. I don't think any of us are trying to tell you not to do it in the summer, we just want to make clear what the conditions are likely to be. But soldiers carry on in this kind of environment all the time, and pilgrims can dress much more appropriately for the weather and carry a lot less weight. Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
