Hi, all! I have searched the threads & have learned so much from you all. What a great resource this forum is! Thx so much!!!
That being said, I am still confused about which 100k route to select for me & my hubby (50s). We are looking at Oct/Nov '24 & definitely want the compostela certificate. We are interested scenery/history, a bit of solitude & just taking in the journey itself (not so much the social aspect). Hoping for 5 days of walking and a few days afterward of relaxing somewhere nearby (plane /train/etc ok).
I was initially thinking the Camino Frances route as we are newbies and it just kinda makes sense. I am fine with that! It may be our one & only Camino so I want to make sure I explore all options before selecting a route. I heard about some road walking on the Frances which led me to just take a look at other routes. Camino Ingles from Ferrol looks intriguing as well as the Camino Portugues from either Vigo or Tui!
If you have experience walking in Oct/Nov, &/or have thoughts on a good route for us, I'd love to hear your ideas!
Also, if anyone has traveled after a Camino/mini Camino for a relaxing break for a few days/week afterward, where did you go & where do you recommend?
Thx, again for the information. I look forward to hearing from you all!
