So Spain has announced that people arriving from the UK will not face period of quarantine, and I am sorely tempted to walk. However, it seem likely that France will maintain its 14 day quarantine until we stop ours! Therefore getting to SJPdP is "problematic" and flying to Biaritz not really an option.
So my question is: what would you do if you were happy to travel? Where would you fly to? Where you start from? Which Camino?
I fully intend bringing my tent but would also want the option of a bed every few nights.
Given the infrastructure of the Frances, at least there should be a decent selection of accommodation available. And I know the route well which would make camping a lot easier. The Frances always calls to me.
Don't know that much about the Norte.
Always been tempted by Via de la Plata but not sure how feasible camping is, plus walking in July/August is generally not advised due the heat. Started the Madrid a couple of years ago, got to Segovia having seen no pilgrims at all, and diverted!
The Frances will obviously be a lot quieter that normal which presumably means other Caminos will be super quiet - I'm not sure that's something I actually want. And probably accommodation would be a major problem on the generally quieter camino's.
