I think you find breathtaking beauty on the Tour du Mont Blanc. Majestic mountains all around. A camino seems a different thing to me, not a hike, but an experience, an immersion, and to be treasured in an entirely different way.

Here’s the thing. We are doing the tour du Mont Blanc this time. Hiking, and I guess that’s for me mainly, then the rest of the Andalusian and Portuguese bit is a long held travel desire for him. So there’s no time for Camino this time. Since planning this trip, Circumstances at home have...
