[QUOTE="Bradypus, post: 671401, member: 42372"] When the modern Camino Frances was first marked out and mapped in the 1980s Don Elias chose the most practical walking routes which linked the places of historic pilgrim interest. He and his associates made use of existing paths rather than creating new trails. For the first few years the Camino was virtually indistinguishable from other local paths with only the occasional yellow arrows to identify it. As numbers walking increased so did the need - or the perceived need - for more substantial engineered paths. A vicious circle - increasing numbers leading to more infrastructure works and then ever greater numbers. How far can that process go before the nature of the Camino is so far altered as to be almost unrecognisable as the Camino earlier generations of pilgrims knew and loved? As [USER=14061]@Tincatinker[/USER] points out for those who come fresh to it this will simply be the new normal. It will mostly be those of us with other memories who are troubled by such developments. Some of us already look to other routes for something closer to our first Camino experience. [/QUOTE]
