    Why you should not walk the Camino del Norte (or at least not until you have read this post!)

    Hello Alex, Just a note to thank you for your file which I found well written and v informative . I agree with your assumption that we are looking alternatives to the over busy Frances which for me was often about covering distance and evenings socialising .

    Thanks to amsimoes and Laurie for ideas on preparing this trip . It now seems to me to be a walk that one makes up as you go along . When one has a bus running to these towns one can't go far wrong . Obrigado James

My view today is that I will be going not overly fit and build it up as I walk . I...

This one I hope will be about travelling light, get a little fitter, eat/drink fairly healthy , take...
