I hope to learn from others what the process of making a physical extension of the Camino in another non European country requires.
There are at least as many answers to that question as there are countries. The difficulty is that it is a hard process to duplicate the
Camino Frances even in Spain. The
Camino Portugues is growing rapidly, as is the
Camino Ingles. The common complaint for them is the lack of affordable accommodations. Except perhaps for the
Camino del Norte, attempts to expand the use of other
caminos has been met with failure, most noticeably the
Camino Invierno. Each route has its advocates, but has not really caught on. There are often suggestions that a
Camino Frances in the U.S. would be desirable, but there is simply no way to do it. Hiking trails have their supporters, but adding affordable hostels has proven impossible. Even the Appalachian Trail only has a couple of hostels.
Good luck with your project. If it comes to fruition, let the Forum know and you may recruit some pilgrims.
