Thank you everybody for your advice. I have been home for a week now having walked from Seville to Santiago and can confirm that walking alone without schedule or planning is a most excellent way to walk! It took me 46 days, walking at my own pace and I loved every moment.
Go well pilgrims...
Thank you all so much for your advice. I have decided to stick with my original plan and walk the VDLP this time. Maybe there will be another opportunity for me to walk the Norte.
Love to you all. x
Hello Pilgrims,

I hope to cross paths with some of you soon.

Thank you Dael! That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I shall concern myself with it no longer! As a veritable expert on this route, I wondered how long it usually takes you by foot and what distances you were walking daily? I also wonder how many people I am likely to encounter walking in...
Hello!
I am embarking upon my first Camino in Seville in early May and I'm very excited. The decision to walk the Way is a bit of a last minute one - I haven't had much time to prepare, I will be walking alone, and unfortunately I don't speak Spanish. I do have 6 weeks though in which I intend...
