Hello everyone,
I've been browsing this forum for a while now, and it's been incredibly helpful in planning my Camino journeys (so far, I've done Vézelay, Frances, and Portuguese, and tomorrow I embark on the Primitivo!).

On the Invierno it seems that a lot of people experiences unchained and agressive dogs on the way (and I am...
