Camino Vagabondes 2024
Hi everyone,
What's the craic? My name is Chris - from Ireland and currently planning my 2nd Camino. The plan is to walk from my front door to Dublin Port, hop on a ferry to Cherbourg, walk through France, and onward to Santiago via the Camino Norte.
In Summer 2022, I had an amazing time completing the Frances from SJPDP and am still in regular contact with many of the friends I met along the way. I'm really looking forward to starting what will be a longer trip around the world with a 1500km plus Camino. What that said, I've got three main questions that I would love some guidance or advice on.
1. What might the accommodation experience be like going through France? I'll be bringing a tent and following a few 'Camino' routes (outlined below in demifferent colours) but curious as to other options such as pilgrim accommodation or staying in churches - as well as wild camping in France
2. How does the Norte compare to the Frances in terms of the social aspect? I'm aware that almost 50% of pilgrims are on the Frances. My walk through France will be a more isolated experience but I'd hope to meet people on the Norte.
3. From Gijon, would people recommend switching to the Primitovo or continuing with the Norte?
Thank You, Ultreia, and Buen Camino
Chris
