    The camino is boring landscapes, paved roads, traffic…

    Your friend is partly right. For hiking lovers there is so much more then the Spanish caminos.

    Good News. One Pilgrim Missing Between SJPP and Roncesvalles is found today!

    Tour du Mont Blanc... then Camino Frances?

    There are other nice walks not far from the TMB, like the Percorsi Occitani and the Valle Varaita Trekking in Piemonte (both about 12 days), the GR5 in France, or if you want to stick with Caminos, the GR65 from Le Puy.
