Hi all...first post..... two questions, though they are linked.
Firstly, thanks to everyone who has ever posted on these forums. There is a wealth of information here, which i have found infinitely useful
We are planning our Camino for August/September and I have read elsewhere that much of the Camino is actually along the roadside rather than the "romanticised" paths through the hills, fields and forests. Is this true? If so, can someone give me a guesstimate or approximate % for each eg 50% along roads 50% along paths. By roads I am referring to roads with a reasonable amount of traffic rather than country roads/trails where there may be a car once an hour! It won't affect our plans but I like to know what I am in for!
Secondly, for a variety of reasons one of our party may only be able to travel for 2-3 weeks. In terms of scenic beauty where do you consider the best area to be? The start through the Pyrenees? or elsewhere?
Thanks for your help!
