Last year I started in Pamplona, for my 4th Camino. Got stamps everyday to Sarria, then took a bus to Santiago. No problem getting the Compostela. Then walked onto Muxia. I don’t care for the Sarria-Santiago experience.
I walked alone (?) in 2017 from SJPP to Santiago and onto Muxia. I had done the Camino twice before with others. Walking alone is a different experience, maybe better. I met others everyday from around the world and had a terrific time. I expect to do it alone again next year, finishing on...
As a point of reference, I have completed the Camino Frances three times. I am 76 yrs old. I plan on another Camino when I’m 80. I’m quite active and have done many walks around the world.
Two years ago my wife and I did part of the SW Coast path from Padstow to St. Ives. A travel company...
Last year at age 75 I started alone in SJPP and finished in Santiago 33 days later. Carried my pack and trekked every frigging inch (EFI). A wonderful experience, even better than my other two Caminos. Being alone, I was able to easily meet others from around the globe.
It’s my plan to do it...
I personally wouldn’t want to do the Camino in a large group. The problem is you bring your selves with you and limit your interaction with other pilgrims. In somewhat the same way, when traveling internationally I always take public transportation, so I can interact with the locals.
