    A Quiet Camino Route?

    Hi I am looking for my next Camino and like the look of this one starting in Seville. I am a solitary individual and comfortable with my own company. My last one was the camino Madrid which was very peaceful. My question is how many walk this route and would I be able to find my own space?

    Altus Poncho

    In reply to my own question I have just noticed the Altus has a full zip top to bottom whereas my old one didn't. This must make it easier to put on and off.

    Hiking poles (please bear with me) need honest advice.
