Trekker One replied to the thread Most Dangerous stage on Camino Frances.?.I hate to use the word 'dangerous' for any stage of the Camino Francis.

Trekker One replied to the thread Walking with my dog.Just no. I love dogs, but the Camino is no place for one. I've seen a few dogs in distress on the Camino due to injuries from some of the terrain and generally being over taxed by so many long days. Most dogs thrive on routine. I would think a...

Trekker One replied to the thread Different because it's shorter.The Primitivo may be shorter than the full Camino Francis route, but it has arguably many more very challenging days than the Francis route.
