[QUOTE="FourSeasons, post: 1228055, member: 16030"] First of all, I'm sorry for your loss. :-( I'll join in with adding, the CF is my go to. Also being inspired by the movie. I've been on the CF three times with different experiences each go around. I'm in the process of planning my forth, yes to the CF. It can get crowded here or there but as many have said, there are ways around it for the most part. Staying off stage helps. Start walking early or later. At your speed I see you whizzing by. The CF is home to me and really caters to the pilgrim. You will see some beautiful sights and meet, when you want, some amazing people from around the world. You'd be surprised at how many different stories you'll hear yet so many will sound familiar to yours. I've walked del Norte from Irun to Laredo then I switched to the Frances. del Norte is so very beautiful yet very challenging for me. I didn't so much mind or notice the road walking as I did the inclines and descents which were present nearly every day. Into the mountains, out to the sea. While I marveled at the beauty around me I struggled with the lack of a Camino feel, not like the Frances. It was hard to connect with others as there are mostly pairs walking and solo's who like to stay solo. I am a solo walker and enjoyed having the trail to myself a lot but I also enjoy the comradery at the end of the day. One last note, in my experience, some locals/shop/restaurant owners seem to view pilgrims as a nuisance, especially in the touristy cities. I can not contribute to the other route you're considering. Either route you chose, it will be your first and I'm very excited for you. You can never have another first. Buen Camino! :cool: 👣 🌻 [/QUOTE]
