that's what I'm considering whether to take Norte this year. Camino Primitivo sets the level high up. Last year I really enjoyed it. The 11 days of beautiful landscapes, villages, valleys, cosy towns, and great people. Not crowded at all, always at least 2 - 3 empty beds at night in the...

Your questions are very broad, and it is hard to answer Yes/No without knowing more detailed facts.
It is you, who has to have a vision and desire. From my point of view I will answer this:
1) Oporto
2) Feet
3) Absolutely Yes
4) Absolutely Yes
5) All the places you hiked were within US...

For example
Albergue Jaime García Rodríguez,
Rua de Moscova, Santiago de Compostela

I arrived to Vila Nova de Cerveira. Every town I had passed made me fall in love to Portugal more and more. I made 37 km today. All blisters can tell the 8 hours straight walk from Viana do Castelo. Again no refugee here but you will...
Re: 7th of July starting Camino Portuges.
All rite. At 5 o clock P.M. a sweet lady from Red Cross introduced me to their albergue. Well I would say an apartment with dorm! Thats how the place looked, very clean, organized and absolutely no occupied. I was surprised that this place was...
