Thanks all for the fantastic replies. I now have several year's worth of walks to try!! But for 2023, I think I will do the start of the Norte, because of ease of access and ease of planning.
Wow. Great advice. Thanks. Coming from Ireland, it is easiest/ cheapest to fly into bilbao and get the bus down to irun... although just walking out of the airport would be so appealing!
I am looking to do a short 7 to 10 day camino section with plenty of elevation change in Spring. It will be part of my training for the Tour du Mont Blanc. Any ideas?
And my camino ends. 16 days walking was perfect for me to complete the Primitivo without too much pain. It really is a bit harder than the Frances or Portugues, but so beautiful. Buen Camino to all those who will soon be on their way.
I have reached A rua today. Arzua was ok yesterday, but I regretted not staying in Ribadiso instead, because it was beautiful, with the river running through and was peaceful.
I have reached Melide and Joined the Frances. Weather is fantastic. The day from Ferreira to Melide is much nicer than I expected from the guidebook. It is very picturesque and there is a nice bar to stop at on the way, which I had not expected.
Today I went from Castro to Fonsegrada. Finally into Galicia. There is a great restaurant about 5km before Fonsegrada, for a really great lunch (not pilgrims menu, a little fancier than that but still relaxed) We had 4 seasons in one day today, and the ponchos had to come out.
