I'm also hoping that in the next couple of years the other caminos will become popular. I'm wondering if maybe there will be more pilgrim albergues during June and also many more pilgrims...I'll just keep waiting for more input. Thanks!
Hello,

Hello!
I've had some pilgrims recommend that I do the Via de la Plata. Last year I went from SJPP-Stgo. and I'm now ready for a new Camino. I'm very hesitant about the Via de la Plata because I am a woman traveling alone and I feel much more comfortable doing a Camino where there are other...
