[QUOTE="Albertagirl, post: 724602, member: 43403"] I have walked all of the Camino Frances for my first camino, and most of it, from Puente la Reina, on my second camino. Then I walked the VdlP. That was a very different experience. There were things that I liked about the Camino Frances, that were important to me as a pilgrim, which did not exist on the VdlP. I was used to evening worship services for pilgrims on the Frances, with a pilgrim blessing. On the Frances, I attended mass whenever it was available to me, although as an Anglican Christian I could not receive communion. Church services accessible to walking pilgrims were almost non-existent on the VdlP. I don't think that I ever succeeded in attending any church service on the VdlP except for two memorial services in the evening, when I went with locals or followed the ringing bells to the church. And there were a few churches in major cities where the doors were open and I was able to sit in silence inside. I don't think it would be exaggerating to say that for many religious pilgrims access to churches and services is an important part of our pilgrim experience. From my limited experience, this may not be nearly as available on other camino routes. I leave it to individuals to decide whether this characteristic of the Frances gives it some sort of priority as a camino route. [/QUOTE]
