[QUOTE="AntonM, post: 1221095, member: 93982"] I'm walking towards Salamanca on the via de la plata and only recently discovered on this forum that the camino Torres existed. I've taken a brief look at some of the threads here but I didnt really see a comparison between the combo of Torres & Geira and continuing on the via de la plata and taking the sanabres afterwards. I'm guessing most of those on the forum that have done the torres have done the sanabres on an earlier occasion and might be able to give some feedback? It's quite clear that Torres & Geira will have less/no other pilgrims and less infrastructure/albergues. It also seems quite a bit longer, at least looking at the map, I didnt really check the stages yet. Both routes are supposedly quite beautiful, from what I've read. Any remarks on how they differ from someone that has done both, mostly trail (difficulty, amount of road walking, maybe which camino would be more impacted by bad/cold weather) and landscape wise, would be very welcome. What I'm mostly wondering about: is the Torres/Geira option just a very nice option for an experienced pilgrim looking for something new/more unknown or is it that beautiful that it's preferable to the sanabres if you can afford the higher cost of needing to rely somewhat on private accommodation? To be completely honest, I'm leaning towards continuing on the VdlP/Sanabres for two reasons: [LIST] [*]I can express myself decently in Spanish (and I like to use it) but not in Portuguese. [*]I've been on parts of caminos before but this is the first time my aim is to get to Santiago and I'm a bit unsure about arriving there for the first time on what seems to be quite an obscure camino. [/LIST] The main reason why I'm still considering the Torres/Geira is that I've been wanting to visit someone in Braga and it would be quite elegant to have the camino lead me there, now that I'm lucky to have lots of time.
