    Sounds lovely! I’ll be planning a stop there for sure if I opt for the Primitivo. Thank you 🙏

    Probably not representing all parts, but I’ve seen many other pictures similar to these of the CF. I’m not saying I’ll never do it, but it’s not my first choice. For some, I’m sure it’s a perfect way to start.

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    I am loving all the wonderful suggestions and comments (including the different viewpoints), and definitely appreciate everyone taking time to reply. It occurred to me that I kind of just threw my question out there, and gave a brief description of why I was asking it but didn't actually give...

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    Thank you for your thoughtful and intriguing reply. Those all sounds absolutely great, not things I'd want to miss out on for sure. And I know exactly what you mean by those unexpected delights of walking. It's one of my favorite parts of my hikes here at home - never knowing what you'll...

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    Lol, @VNwalking is absolutely right. While I did enjoy your description and obvious appreciation for the Camino Frances @Bob Howard, it only served to reinforce my decision to do any other camino but that one! LOL. The idea of walking among large groups of people, even if it was in absolutely...

    Fair enough, but can you elaborate please? You have caught my interest.

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    Both seem like great suggestions. I especially love the spontaneity offered by the second one, as it also allows me to do first one. And I don't want to have to fight you lol.

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    True, very true.

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    Thank you for this thoughtful reply. This is the type of advice I was hoping for, from someone who has walked the Norte many times and in many ways. I've bookmarked your advice, so I can look into it in more detail as I'm making my plans. And I'd be willing to bet your first rambling response...

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    YES!!! I wholeheartedly agree with you. And I love your snowglobe analogy. It's always what happens for me when I walk long distance, with hours for contemplation. If it happens for you while you bike your Camino, then that's wonderful. It doesn't make you a monstrosity or odd. It's what works.

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    As I mentioned in my original post, this is my first time in Spain as well as my first Camino. I’d be heartbroken if I didn’t spend a little time sightseeing in the places I’m already planning to pass through, such as Bilbao and Oviedo. Does this make me a tourist, not a pilgrim? I surely don’t...

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    Both of those sound like good suggestions, definitely worth looking into. I honestly don't know much about the RdM but I like the idea of avoiding some of the busier, more touristy parts. Thanks for the great ideas!

    Recommendations for “not to be missed” & “ok to skip”

    Exactly, I totally agree.
