[QUOTE="lunna, post: 676664, member: 50913"] I agree it's a solitary walk, but it is very satisfying to be able to do it on your own too, both from a physical and spiritual/mental/psychic perspective. Yes, you will have to ask yourself how dependent you are on meeting other people, and how comfortable you are being with yourself a good majority of the time - and you will need to be flexible, as the route is not always (but most of the time this is not the case) the best-marked. It is definitely a different experience than some of the other walks; probably the one that's closest to it that I've done was the Via de la Plata, which was perhaps my favorite walk of all! I finished it a week or two ago (from Arles to Puente La Reina) and strongly recommend this walk. If you love nature, you will absolutely love this walk - the scenery is simply amazing along most of the trail, plus, there's not too much asphalt like on some other walks either! Don't let the posts here dissuade you from doing this stroll! If you don't like it after a few days or weeks, you are always free to choose to do another walk (or none at all :)) I'm not the world's strongest walker, and I had no problem (other than the normal aches and pains, sometimes) doing this walk. I have to admit, though, that I was very lucky - despite some very hot days, I only had one day of rain the whole way. If it does rain, just be flexible and use common sense, and avoid rocky/steep areas that might be dangerous when wet. Remember, this is not an Everest Base Camp walk! [/QUOTE]
