[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 1195208, member: 195"] One of mine was in 2014, and IMO the more the merrier !! People have been saying that for decades. I was given garage floor sleeping space on my 2005 by an elderly priest in France, who seemed terribly dismissive -- I was just happy to be safe and with a roof over my head. He invited me to breakfast in the morning, and I was astonished to see his Presbytery full of Compostela memorabilia. It turns out he had walked his Camino in the 1950s, and viewed all of these modern pilgrims as being no good compared to what the Camino should be. So when I explained that I was often sleeping outdoors -- as he had done -- and that my 1994 from Paris was pretty much in the same conditions as his 1950s, he did have the grace to look chastened, pleased, and more sympathetic. "More" crowded and commercial is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think it changes what the Camino is in essence. [/QUOTE]
