[QUOTE="Tim Floyd, post: 632644, member: 55164"] No, it has not lost its soul, but it is struggling under the weight of popularity. As more people seek the experience, it puts more pressure on the infrastructure. I was going to the Camino on my own the old fashioned way - day to day, nothing but alburges. Then my wife’s Dad died and sent her into a period where she was just lost. I told her she needed to come with me on pretty short notice. I used Booking.com on my phone to make sure we had a place, and I hired her bag to be transported so she would not get hurt. It ended up being one of the most blessed experiences of our 37 years together. We met many great people. My wife to this day marvels that she did it, and I can just feel the sense of accomplishment when she talks to people about her Camino. It wont be the old way for everyone. But without some of the newer services and technologies, people like my wife may never get the chance, and I think that would be a shame. We had plenty of reflection, lots of spontaneity and met many new friends. The Camino is still there. [/QUOTE]
