    Primitivo vs. Frances

    I am from Canada, Anemone. Last summer I went all across Newfoundland. I also spent some time in Gros Morne and hiked the mountain there. It it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Go to Newfoundland if you can!

    Great pictures! I'm still on the fence of going or not at all but these images are hard to refute.

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Thanks for the kind words :) I totally get it. Every time I've been in the mountains I feel clear. It's hard to explain. Just a peace you can't find everywhere.

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Wow, I appreciate the effort! I think Damien kind of hit the nail on the head about doing a whole route. I feel that if I did the Frances, I would have to start in SJPDP. I know it's not a big deal to start down the line, but for me it's just how I feel. I wanna complete full routes. That's...

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    I like certain ideas about the Frances, that's definitely true. I also think I've been really sold by The Way movie that it's a part of rationale on the Caminos. However, I am looking for introspection and natural beauty (I LOVE MOUNAINS!). It seems that perhaps the Primitivo and Salvador were...

    Oh and I plan on going in Mid July to early August ... yes I know it'll be hot :)

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Hey Marty, good luck on your Camino! To all, I'm not sure if I'll be getting married this year but I am going to propose in March. She's just waiting for me ;) I think I'm definitely settled on the Primitivo and Salvador. I see that TerryB put up a link to a guide. Is that the generally...

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Thank you all for the great comments. Some of you I knkw have seen my other thread regarding doing the Frances in 32-35 days. Also, a little mention of my past hikes and treks over large expanses . Seeing as how I am at the stage of my life where I am going to get married later this year or...

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Ya, it could very well be because of the movie that I feel I'd be missing out by doing the Primitivo. I guess the bonus of taking that route is that I could go to Finnistere(?).

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Hey again, Kinky One. I did read about that. Interesting stuff. I just don't wanna feel like I'm "missing out" by doing the Primitivo. Maybe I'm being foolish in thinking that way.

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    Haha, so you're saying that the Primitivo is not really a true Camino?

    Primitivo vs. Frances

    My title may be convey a competition between the two, however that was not my intention. I originally was planning the Frances for my first Camino. The time may simply be too long and I want to be at the start and finish - no parts of routes. If I were to do the Camino Primitivo, am I missing...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Hey, I'm looking at the Camino Primitivo. You mentioned I would really like it, is that because it is more mountainous? I also have been reading that 14 days is very doable for this route. If my 30-32 days is not possible due to personal responsibilities back home, perhaps the Primitvo may be...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Thank you, Joe! I have heard the Frances can get very busy. I also have read that everyone really believes in the Frances as the first Camino. Is the Norte longer, shorter or the same? Places to stay?

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    Hey Vlogan, Yeah, I'm gaining more and more confidence that 30-32 will give me ample time to walk the route and have a day or two off. If it doesn't work out that way, then I guess I'll have to go with the flow of the Camino. As for the TMB, I did it with a group of about 12 people. Here is...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I would be going in late June to late July. I have already figured in the flight to Paris, train to SJPDP and one night stay there. Then I calculate 30-32 days from SJPD and to get home, which would be Compostela to Paris flight and then flight from Paris to Toronto (where I am from - 8hrs)...

    The Ongoing Time Debate

    I've read some posts on this forum about people talking about speed and rushing. I'm not talking about rushing, rather the fact that I enjoy walking long distances with a great pace. It's not to see how fast I can do it, so please throw that notion out the window. I think it's dismissive to say...
